Dear Qazhby,
You will do fine in terms of the SAT when you get to 11th grade. My child and some of his friends also took the SATs in 6th/7th, and I know a bit about the JHU CTY program which is very like Duke’s TIP. Save yourself much wasted effort and grief and ignore more of the tips for doing well on the SATs. Just read broadly (with a dictionary handy), and do well in whatever math sequence you have and you will do fine.
Your scores are not uncommon for GIFTED KIDS - they are exellent for a 7th grader.
Think of it this way - they aren’t much below average for 11th graders.
