Great. Be aware that most of the kids have studied in some way or fashion for this unknown, every changing test. Lot of kids go to Korean math school, or do Beast Academy, or CTY. I know several kids who are HG and considered themselves good students who didn’t get in. Also, depending on what type of of school you are at, the lowest math they enter at is prealgebra which may be not be on track. Also, a number of private school kids will enter IHP because it is one of the few ways they can enter LAUSD gifted when they don’t have district tests or test scores.

My son didn’t study for the test but he had studied seriously for the ISEE which he did exceptionally well on and we were able to submit those scores.
