We have done three years of above level testing with ds, two years with dd.
Honestly, I�m not that into the talent search statistics. We have really just focused on comparison to the older test pool, following the suggestions in �Developing Math Talent� and using the info for school advocacy as required.
We didn�t even briefly consider traveling to another state to attend a mass recognition ceremony for results from a 2-3 hour test, but think the certificate they sent was nice. The school ceremony where ds was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society was a much bigger deal to us, even though it is less exclusive, because it reflected his efforts, achievements and demonstrated character over an entire semester.
