So this morning while waiting in line to check in...

<p>to check in, there was a row for 7th + 8th graders only.</p>

<p>why didn't our school have that before ._.</p>

<p>those are the kids in rogate and/or John Hopkins. My son is taking it today as well as a 7th grader. Maybe your school doesn't participate in Rogate or John Hopkins. You get admitted based upon your standarized test scores. Are you actually done with the SAT? If so, how did the math/reading/writing sections seem?</p>

<p>Yeah there were a ton of 7th graders for the Duke TIP at my school this morning.</p>

<p>Like half my class was 7th graders.</p>

<p>my older son had a really bad proctor. She was actually on her cell phone talking behind him. She also didn't give 5 min warnings, which he has always had.</p>

<p>i was the only non 7th or 8th grader in my classroom of about 35 kids and id assume that 75 percent of them scored higher than me........... they just looked smart</p>

<p>It's for the Duke TIP thing...Huge marketing/ money-making ploy...Almost everyone (if not everyone in my daughter's seventh grade class was invited to take the test (for a fee of course).</p>

<p>actually they were all johns hopkins kids</p>

<p>I was one of two non-highschoolers in 8th grade (can't remember seventh). Statistically, I beat over half the room.</p>

<p>The country is divided into regions for the 7th/8th talent search. Some states are in the Duke TIP zone, some are in the Stanford EPGY, some are in the Johns Hopkins CTY, and I think there may be one or two others.</p>
