Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy CTY

Hi

DD is in second grade and we are planning on CTY-Johns Hopkins Uni, I read some info on the web site

But I would like to know personal experiences of CTY,SCAT testing etc.

Any info,highly appreciated

Thanks
Yannam

What kind of specific info are you looking for? My D tested for CTY in middle school (SAT), so not as young as yours, but I am sure you will find people here who have. One of the benefits she got from that testing through CTY was an invitation to join the online "Cogito" group that CTY helps sponsored for gifted kids (a GREAT thing for my kid, especialy in middle school, to make friends -- even online ones -- like herself). We ended up choosing Davidson THINK instead of CTY for our D, so she has not attended CTY classes. But I have not really ever heard a negative comment about CTY, except for maybe the high cost of the programs.

SCAT test is shorter than the time allotted. Don't leave the building, and take your bathroom break right away.

I've just recently spoken to 2 moms who were very happy with the online classes, my son loves the summer camp.

Good luck,
Grinity
