I'm taking four honors classes currently, but I don't have honors Eng. MG English is taught by another teacher. The testing process takes 45 days.

There is nothing wrong with my teacher in the regular English class. My school was limited on funds so many honors students were put into regular classes. I had a 107 weighted score last year in English. I fought with the roster office for an honors class, but I didn't want to change my schedule entirely. I also tried to ask for the MG English class that was the same period and across the hall from mine. The request has still not been answered after month.

Harder classes are seen by the colleges and you will be rewarded for being in them.

Hi. I'm not really familiar with the Gifted program, but I know what schools are like (strapped for cash), and the education system doesn't really help. I was blessed to be at a school which is pretty proactive in pushing 'gifted' students into extra courses, mentoring etc.
But if you want something, ask for it. It may not necessarily help you get through (I don't know), but it MIGHT be worth it. Sometimes you have to make a bit of a fuss, and then the system will take notice of you.

There are actually not any downfalls from attempting out, in spite of the indisputable fact that this is what strikes which would be taken from the outcomes that are substantial. The attempting out performed at grade you are able to take one or the two considered one of two types - strict IQ try, with probable different attempting out of a known form. extra attempting out is oftentimes performed on the grade 3 point, whilst they have extra adulthood. IQ assessments are actually not redone. Her being at that analyzing/comp point and math point you're saying does no longer be considered as 'proficient' in our community college branch. At grade one, my son grow to be analyzing at 9th grade analyzing point - comparable for vocab and spelling, maths at 5th, different stages around grade seven. We did no longer desire him speeded up, yet somewhat the teachers interior right here couple of years did some enrichment with him (we did a great deal at homestead), and he grow to be in the prolonged studying opportunities application for grades 5 to eight. He grow to be analyzing formerly he grow to be 4, yet so have been my husband and that i. So have her examined, you will flow throughout the outcomes with the college room instructor, the numerous and perhaps the college psychologist - and think of roughly their ideas. yet make effective your new child is properly-grounded and delighted with studying. those are the main severe issues.

What exactly do you get out of it?
Are you automatically bumped into more scholarship opportunities?
Do you get any discounts on school stuff?
Do you get to get in free to school and campus events?
Will members of the opposite sex suddenly find you that much more attractive because of such a designation?
If you answered "yes" to more than one of the above questions, I say go for it. If it gets you out of high school that much faster, go for it.
If all it does is prove you can pass a test, then what's the point?
Okay, so I'm a bit bitter about high school still. Extra clubs did not guarantee certain people scholarships, not because of the clubs, but because they had 1 "B" on their transcript. I disagree with a lot of the politics involved in high school.

yes! yes! yes! i am an honor and AP student! i absolutely love the challenge! also, smarter people have a tendency to mature quicker than their fellow peers, and in these gifted/honor/AP classes all the more mature people are put together. i can't stand being in a "regular" classes. i find those people to be immature (notice i did NOT say stupid). i enjoy being able to have intelligent conversations.

If you are mentally gifted, then yes, it is worth it. You can even take the Mensa test. It's no big deal, except it brings prestige.

yes, I've been in the gifted program since 3rd grade, and it really challenges me to use all of my abilities, and it will for you too, even if you're only in it for a few years.
