I thought the Duke TIPS program was based on SAT scores. Perhaps her SAT scores were translated into IQ (it’s common) and based on that she was told she had a 200 IQ?

<p>Doubtful. Otherwise, everyone with a 2400 on their SAT would have an IQ of 200. That’s a big statistical no-no.</p>

<p>SAT to IQ conversions are unreliable anyway. SAT scores can vary greatly with each individual sitting depending on the amount of preparation the student puts in, the nature of the questions, and just pure luck.</p>
