Hey,
Okay, maybe a little background first.
In my school, there are like 'gifted/talented classes'. To get in, like most schools, you have to take a 4 hr test. It's got IQ stuff and a bit of maths stuff. ok so there is like 1 test which is all of those puzzle things. like they give you some kinda pattern and you have to get the next in the series kinda thing?? and then 1 is like 'man is to house as rabbit is to?' Get the idea? it wasn't full of ALL of those kinda ones, but i can't remember any others. and the other one was like a maths test. and i'm pretty sure there was another one but i can't remember
In the application form, you have to tell them bout like, 'did you read before you went to school?' 'what are your hobbies?' etc. and you can also submit 'standardised testing results'
Okay, i took the test in yr 6, didn't get it, but i want to. so now its the beginning of yr8, and hoping to get in.
I am not stupid. I got in yr 7 a High distinction in Chemistry Comp. and Geography Comp., Distinction in both the maths challenge and maths comp. In yr6 I got a distinction in Maths, Writing, Science, and Spelling. (It was my first year to do the chemistry, geography and maths challenge, and it was a different maths comp than the ones i took in primary school. they didn't do the spelling and writing in yr 7 either).
Okay, so i'm sure gifted doesn't mean getting distinctions and high distinctions. But then if it doesn't how come they only give out the notes for the comps and stuff to the gifted class? i only got those notes coz of my friends in the gifted class.
okay, i won't say anymore. But then, how come i didn't get in??
a boy who was in my classes for yr 7 got geography champ in the whole of like my city. He was 'smart'. He got high d in chem as well, and science (damn, in yr 7 i got only a credit in science!) but he's crap at maths! and my friends in the gifted class haven't gotten 1 distinction or high distinction!. Sure, some of them in the gifted class are really smart and all, but i'm sure i'm at least smarter than most in there.
so maybe you can't 'study' for it.
how do you develop IQ? What does it test?
Oh, and i am also very talented in my violin!
I hope i'm not bragging although it is probably perceived as bragging anyway, i just want to know why i'm not in there??
is it because they are 'gifted' and i'm not?
=[
please help =[
And thankyou for reading so much! i hate bragging, but since you don't know me, i guess it won't matter? i just want help, just maybe to understand it!
Thankyou so much!
