I wonder what Liberty's numbers will be like next year when the 11th graders from Northwest Plano will be at Lebanon Trail.

Here is a link to give an idea of how hard Southlake (Carroll) tries, a gift for folks who say that wealthy districts don’t care. Everyone cares and tries, it’s just they can’t beat Plano West academics with their expensive Dragon T-shirts.

There is nothing in there that says they try that hard. They incorporate what is in the test into the curriculum which makes sense since they are basic concepts.

Again thanks for being jealous of the best district overall in DFW. My son is not preparing for the PSAT, but preparing for the SAT. He was asked to take it in the past 2 weeks. I guarantee I know more Carroll parents than you do and I don't know 1 who cares about the PSAT. All care about the SAT or ACT.

BTW he is in 7th grade and no this is not a joke.

Carroll is a far better school than Plano West. Thanks for the laugh though.

I took the SAT in 7th grade as well. It's not a common thing, but it's by no means rare. I remember because in 7th grade I scored well above the national average for all students (mainly juniors and seniors in high school, obviously) and at first my parents thought it must be a mistake.

But I do agree that the posted link doesn't prove there is any sort of outsized emphasis on PSAT.

Huh? For having the user name numbers guy you sure do not understand numbers. How many 7th graders take the SAT per year?

Mu suggestion is to hit the dictionary and look up what rare means. In other words you have no clue what you are talking about......AGAIN.

My point was that you said it wasn't a joke as if people wouldn't believe you that it was happening. Obviously a tiny fraction of younger kids are selected to take it.

As a fact a good number of 7th grader take SAT for Duke TIP and Johns Hopkins CTY talent recognition. This is not a news. Every year good number of Plano ISD students earn recognition or Grand recognition medals. It makes them eligible for online courses or summer programs at these schools. It’s a cool recognition but many parents think it helps with admission at these schools in future which it doesn’t.
