As a matter of fact, I do have a crystal ball of sorts, sitting on my bookshelf - Its called the 'Iowa Acceleration Scale Manual.' For about 40$ you can order on from somewhere on the Internet, and read up on how to use a system to convert feelings into probabilities.

Meanwhile - sign DD up for CTY's talent search, to get an idea of where she stands in relation to other gifted kids.

Also ask your school for a copy of your DD's raw scores in each of the subtests - then send them in a private message to Dottie for some insight. (Hi Dottie, hope you don't mind....)

I'm still confused about your school's gifted thing - they identify the top 5% of all kids, and provide services for the top 5% of the gifted group? ((confused look))

Try Aleks.com for online Math - it's fairly cheap and very fun. Or order 'Decarte's Cove' from JHU - more expensive but still fun.
