Great score, acs's son! WTG!

Wow, that's great! Glad it went so well. He must be thrilled!

Acs - Thanks for the tip!
I just went online, created an account in DS name and was able to access his scores. They are good, great indeed - qualify him for anything - but I was schocked to see his math score being the lowest of them all. I am not going to post scores online, but you can PM me and I wil let you know:-)

For comparison you can look at this TIP results from last year

What do you mean Dottie?

Well, the math score is not really "lower" , it puts him still in the 99% of talent search kids, but I am so used to his math score topping everything else, hence my comment:-)
And also, it makes me wonder. You might recall that he is accelerated in math, but this year he started complaining of being "bored" in ALG II class, so he is working on his own, with DH occasionally attempting to check his work. I have a gut feeling, that he is not learning much this year. And I really do not see an option on the horizon.

Oh, an online account - yes, you are right!
You can call for SAT scores, and they will wave the $12 fee, I believe, if the child is younger than 13. But I am with you, I like an online anonimity and convenience:-)

Now my DD will be asking questions about her Explore results since she took it on the same day that DS!

Yea Acs!!! I'm so glad your DS did so well and you got the numbers you were looking for.

My DS is taking the Explore Saturday. Of course his basketball team is winning their games in their tournament and their game Saturday is the same time as the test. He is a bit upset about that but agrees he still wants to take the test. I just hope that doesn't hurt him because he is upset about the basketball. Wish us luck!!! :-)

Congratulations!!

Wonderful news! Congratulations acs!

I love it when I hear how well the kids are doing and happy. It's a tough choice for him to make, but what great choices he has!!
