We are pretty excited for him.

Yeah for the Duke TIP program. You should be proud. He will only get better from here on out.

I got a 1460 or so when I took the SATs in 9th grade as part of the application process for this boarding school.

Standardized tests are a joke.

SOONER: I participated in the TIP program for the summer after 7th grade. If you have any questions about it from a former participant's point of view, please feel free to PM me. I doubt it changes much.

PS - I'm just being a pround human being. If a father/mother can be proud of his son/daughter, can't a college student be proud of him/herself?
PPS - I'm sorry that I put male/female in all the gender/gender slashes. I reproduced it below in the PPPS.

no offense but how did you get a 1570 on your SAT when the right word is 'wish' and not 'which' ? And what is pround?

Sad but true, sad but true.

He may only be 12-13 but, unless you've lived under a rock the past 5-10 years, kids these days are think they're MUCH older then what they really are.

Poor kid probably gets made fun of, a lot.

 

[TuxDave]

Anyone want to provide an ACT score to SAT score translator? Like what 'average' is supposed to be?

23 would be about the 75 percentile for a high school junior so considering he's in the 7th grade its fairly good.

He's a fairly athletic and good looking kid. Plus he's got a cute girlfriend who is a brain like him. So he's doing ok.

That's very good but it's probably a different test. This is not measured in %.

Like mother like son ?

 

[LookingGlass]

My daughter has been on that program for 2 years now. It's nice, will look good for them as they progress in school. She's in the TAG program, *Talented and Gifted*

Keep encouraging!

Of course not, it's horrible. The op made this thread just so he could insult his son and his job as a father.
