Duke Tip Information is below from the following site: https://tip.duke.edu/programs/7th-grade-talent-search Please read below and on the website if you believe your child would be interested and would qualify! There is also a letter below with further information from our school.
Academically talented students need challenges, motivation, and support if they are to reach their highest potential. The benefits offered by the 7th Grade Talent Search are designed to do just that.
Testing’s role in the 7th Grade Talent Search
As part of their enrollment, participants in the 7th Grade Talent Search take the same ACT (no writing) or SAT (no essay) that high schoolers take. They even test alongside high schoolers.
The test is meant to be diagnostic, discovering how far above grade level participants really are. As a bonus, the experience offers benefits of its own: it’s a low-stress, low-risk opportunity to experience these exams.
After taking the ACT or SAT, you and your student will receive a score report from the testing agency comparing your student’s scores to recent US high school graduates. To ensure the greatest insight, we provide an additional results summary that compares your student’s scores to other 7th Grade Talent Search participants and provides suggestions for how to use that knowledge to create an educational plan.
These scores are also used to determine qualification for TIP's recognition ceremonies and for some educational programs, including the Summer Studies Program and eStudies.
