What is this SAT test, sounds like you are proud that she has done good. Congrats. [:D]
SAT? 2080? The SAT is a college enterence exam... 1600 points possible

That is the old scoring. The new high score is 2400. But yes it was the college test.

What is that comparable to the old test? And was she given more time?
explains it better. They were tested on "Standard" meaning that they were treated just like it was for college.
gagirl THATS GREAT!! I'm sure you are very proud and you should be. Don't let her slack she'll be a teen before you know it. How many children do you have?
Biologically ... One... but I have had 2 foster kids, previous bf of 4 yrs had 3, 2 of which lived with us, and currently I have 3 step kids and 3 step grand kids. The 2 youngest used to live with us but now live within their mom, because they didnt like rules and private school. But those test scores damn sure say something for private schools!!!!!
You have a 13 yr old son right?
Taking him camping/fishing this weekend. Then trap shooting monday.
After tonight I have 2 weeks off. So it's my turn finally to celebrate.[:p] Worked 72hrs since last friday[|)][:(]
That's enough for now.[xx(]
Any how, its still a great score!
I just have a hard time believe that a 6th grader can score a 2080. Not saying that it can't happen, but that puts her in the 95 percentile for all students that take the test. The reason being is the difficulty of the materal that is on the test. It has upper level math and reading that is above and beyond most, if not all 6th grade levels.

Shoff I scored over 1500 in the 7th grade when tops was 1600. The percentiles given do not take into account tests given in public schools to gifted students or in private schools to the younger grades. You also have to consider that her school starts them in algebra in the 4th grade, That to even be accepted into the school you have to test 2+ grades higher then what you are actually in, and by the time they are in the 12th grade they already have all the state requirements and that they are enrolled in college for 1/2 days.
If I had her test taking abilities, I wouldn't care about homework either. She's smart enough to be able to figure out what benefits her, and that is what hurts her study discipline.
Something tells me that her mom would probably be the same way if she thought she was wasting her time!

I know that there is NOTHING a parent can do with a child that knows that they really dont have to study. As long as she keeps a/b's (which are different at public school then in private) I will be happy and wont care if she studies ever.
But she will need those study skills when she gets to college. Unless of course she goes liberal arts degree type.
Thats when I found out I was just lazy not stupid ..
I made honor roll for the entire two years engineering math. Now I have forgotten it all so guess its back to stupid[B)]
