Loy58, one of my dd's had a tester tell her she'd answered questions that some college age-kids can't answer on one of her ability tests. This isn't my e.g. kiddo either - I think the tester just put it out there as an encouragement to her, as she's a kid who tends to lack self-confidence.
It did give her a huge boost of self-confidence, but it also back-fired a little bit because although she was perhaps able to answer questions that a college-aged person might have some difficulty with, she definitely wasn't ready to *go* to college in any subject at that point, and it was hopeless attempting to explain the science of statistics to her in a meaningful way so that she understood what answering a question that only x percent of 20 year olds might get correct really meant at that point in her life lol!
Best wishes,
