Ok - My daughter just turned 4 - so this is a moot point for Davidson Young Scholars at this point, but she is so bright that I know we will test to see if she can get in next year.
I'm confused/concerned about these tests. I know nothing (zero) about them. Clearly my daughter can read, and understands concepts like alliteration, photosynthesis, and democracy (sorry, voting day was yesterday haha!) Anyway - the point is that she is exceptionally bright and everyone that knows her knows this (not my imagination thank you very much!)
Anyway - she is shy around new people, and I think throwing her into a test where she doesnt know the person would be a bit unsettling to her, as she is quite highly sensitive. So how does that work? What are your opinions about testing so young and which test to do and how much do they cost? Ok - whew. I know, its a lot, but she is still only 4 and I'm not sure what to do at this point.
What if she doesnt make the cut - THEN what do I do with this brilliant little soul?
Thanks in advance.
