Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums GT Research A correlation between above level tests and IQ scores?

WG -
Mite is Mite is Mite - there is no Gifted Stuff and LD Stuff, there is only a small person in front of you. I know that it's useful (to a point) to identify the issues, but it seems to me that the only way to make it all work, is to adress the individual child. Every moment you have a chance to move things forward, or not. Most of the chances will always slip through our hands, but I believe that enough moments greatly increase our chidren's odds of growing up whole. Then there is the world that they will grow up into, in need of a lot of care and thought.

Then there is ourselves - inescapably.

Rest Well, Sweet WG,
Trinity

Hi Willa Gayle,

To take the SCAT, you need to first register with the talent search (jhu cty). http://www.cty.jhu.edu/ts/acceptabletests.html
Look it up you'll be able to do an application (with standardized test results over 95% or teacher's or parent's recommendation). You'll have to pay a fee. They'll give your son a testing number (ours was sent by mail a few days later) and then you find the Prometric testing center closest to you http://securereg3.prometric.com/ProfessionalHome.aspx
They are good about having weekend testing times. They have a fee, too. If you're not going to use Johns Hopkins programs but are interested in closer programs (Northwestern U.), first check which tests they require (I think everyone else uses the EXPLORE). Cym
