Ok my friend told me about John Hopkins Talent Search (for gr 7th and 8th) and like you take sat's and stuff. She said that I can't do it because this is for honor students only which is unfair. I don't believe her so I'm asking you guys is she is right. I did check the site but didn't say for honor students.

Here is a info on wat is is.

Frequently Asked Questions

I made it to the honor roll for the 1st quarter (sooo close to principal)

my average is 93.50 and all of my teacher says that I work really hard and they are pround of me.

I join about 3 big contest and planning on this huge one gonna register.

I'm sure your friend is right. A talent search isn't looking for 93.5% averages. It's looking for 99% and 100% averages.

We're all proud of you -- but that doesn't mean that you qualify for every honor. Besides, why would you want to take a test when you start out behind the other students who take this test?

idk I just want to try new things this year.

but thanks anyway :(

but if I bring my average to a 99 or 100 then I can participate?
I have the form so I can sign up after the second quarter.

but if I bring my average to a 99 or 100 then I can participate?

I have the form so I can sign up after the second quarter if i bring up that kind of average.

My guess is that you'd have to carry at least a 99% average for at least a year.

No.

My friend got a 99 for th 1st quarter and her science teacher recommend her.

OK. Go for it! I hope you can get a 99% average and be recommended for this test.

Yup !!! :)

Based on the information you provided, the John Hopkins Talent Search, also known as the CTY Talent Search, is not exclusively for honor students. It is open to all students in grades 7-8 who demonstrate exceptional mathematical and/or verbal reasoning abilities. The purpose of the Talent Search is to identify and recognize students with extraordinary talents in these areas.

To participate in the CTY Talent Search, you need to apply either online or through a paper application. You can find the 2012 Talent Search brochure on their website, which will provide you with more information about how to apply. Additionally, you may need to locate your school code for the application process.

Regarding your academic achievements, being on the honor roll and receiving praises from your teachers are positive indicators of your hard work and dedication. Participating in contests and planning to register for a major competition further demonstrates your commitment to academic challenges.
