    Also still waiting in Michigan. I was told they would be sent out around the end of April or early May. (Haven't received this year's MEAP scores yet either!)

    Also in Michigan...
    You're referring to the score distribution info and such? I was told two weeks ago they'd be mailed out last week, but I still haven't seen anything yet.
    Is anyone going to the awards ceremony June 6? We'd love to meet other Michiganders! My son is in 5th grade(homeschooled), and we're in Grand Rapids.

    We have not recevied the NUMATS score distribution yet, but we did finally receive the MEAP scores this week.

    We haven't heard anything on the awards ceremony. I assumed it was sort of an invitation only type of thing (and haven't seen an invite yet)!

    Nothing here either... I think the award levels are listed on their website, but I'm running out the door right now and don't have time to track down the link...

    We received our scores about a month ago (IL) and my daughter received a letter she was invited to the awards ceremony at Northwestern (we are going). We were told we would receive something which showed how she did compared to the gifted children who took the test but we haven't. We only received the report from ACT showing her scores compared to other 8th graders.

    Here is the link to the award levels: http://www.ctd.northwestern.edu/docs/ctd/2009acscorecriteria.pdf

    But let me tell you, I SURE WISH a highly gifted person would take a stab at reorganizing and simplifying their crazy website....!

    Can someone tell me if all the IL kids who scored well go to the Northwestern ceremony? I read something about a ceremony at Il Math and Science as well. They won't tell us anything except that she qualified for an award.

    No CTD packet in Wisconsin yet either. I did call CTD and talk with Maureen Hanrahan (not sure if I got the spelling on the last name correct). She said they had been waiting on one document, but that they were (on Tuesday, April 28th) in the process of mailing them out. Like I said, I'm still waiting. Wisconsin's ceremony is this Saturday and my daughter was invited so we're going. It sure would be nice to know more about her scores before we go!

    My packet came today. I like the different recommendations for acceleration and class recommendations. It looks like DD is ready for ACT/SAT next year and will "graduate" the Explore. I find it amazing that there are 3rd and 4th graders who get 25s on this test. It will be nice to meet them at awards.

    Really??!!
    What kind of progression do you think a child would make each year, 3-4 points increase per test?
