6th grade: 450 M, 550 V = 1000
7th grade: 550 M, 640 V = 1190
Now (Final): 780 M, 800 V = 1580 (+710 WR = 2290)
I've never been a studier, so this is pretty much straight improvement. (I don't say that to be smug, I'm just not one). Of course, I also covered 6 years of math from the 450 to the 780, so that's something to consider as well!
Oh, and personally, I took the SAT in middle school because I wanted to accelerate another year in math. So when I took it in the sixth grade, I was in pre-pre-Algebra. I missed the cutoff--it was 480. I took it again in the 7th grade, and the cutoff was 520, so obviously I made it (and didn't take it again in the 8th grade when I had no incentive). Personally, I haven't really heard of kids in Illinois taking it for talent search type things (That JHU thing seems to be mostly east coasters). Of course, it could just be that no one in my district cared...always a possibility.

I've taken a standardized test at least once every year since seventh grade-
7: ACT-24 (24E/22M/26R/23S)
8: SAT- 1180 (630M/550V)
9: ACT-29 (28E/30M/28R/28S)
10: ACT- 29 (33E/29M/26R/26S)
10: PSAT- 198 (72M/65R/67V)
10: ACT-32 (34E/33M/28R/33S, 9E)
11: PSAT- 209 (73M/67R/69W)
11: SAT- 2010 (660M/700V/650W, 9E)
That's a lot of tests, and I'm still set to take the SAT and ACT again this year...

im worried.... is a 2240 like what i got in the top 2 or 3%?
i hate myself for slacking off at the last moment. I'd taken 8 practice tests. first few were like 2200's, but the last four or five were all in the 2360-2400 range. But then i did no organized practice for the last week before SAT. And i did almost no essay work. In the actual test, if my essay score was one point higher, i would have had a 800 writing instead of 790. I also did no practice for math. So i ended up missing four questions, giving me a 710...
i guess i did pretty well for 7th grade, but i know i would have been much better.

I'm sorry acadmicsrule, but I hoped you learned your lesson.
I don't know if there are merit scholarships for DTIP, but I'm sure there are. But I know for sure there is a ceremony in June or something recognizing top scorers, and there are numerous summer activities you can engage in during high school.

My sister got a 1020 on her 7th grade SAT last month. I think she got something like 570M, 450CR, but I'm not sure. She got something in the mail from Duke today about summer programs. Should she be expecting something from JHU too? I'm just curious on how her scores compare to other 7th graders (including normal kids, non CCers lol) and what kind of programs she qualifies for.
Oh, and how are all the 7th grade programs. Are they worth it?

I don't know if you care, but here's my freshman year PSAT vs my Senior SAT. Freshan Year was the first time I took any kind of SAT or PSAT, so it is somewhat comparable to a 7th grade SAT:
Frosh PSAT: 157
54 M / 48 CR / 55 WR
Senior SAT: 2030
710 M / 640 CR / 680 WR
Gain in Math: 170 points
Gain in CR: 160 points
Gain in Writig: 130 points

Thanks. It just shows what a difference 4 years makes. Based on my results, one could expect around a 150 point increase per section on the SAT from Frosh to Senior Year, although it could vary.

Back in the day (6th grade): 590 CR, 640 M = 1230 Total
BOO! but at least its above the national average. =)
(12th grade): 780 CR, 800 M, 770 W = 1580 Total + 770 W or 2350 Total
