7th Grade DUKE TALENT SEARCH
Deadline for Registration is November 1, 2007.
Talent Search is now beginning its twenty-eighth year and is the largest program
of its kind in the nation, representing participation from 6,000 junior high and
middle schools in the Duke TIP 16-state region. Over 1.5 million students have completed
the Talent Search since its inception in 1980. The Talent Search identifies academically
talented 7th graders based on standardized test scores achieved while attending
elementary or middle school. Candidates are identified and invited to complete either
the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT Assessment college entrance examination. Duke
TIP then provides the participants with comparative information concerning their
academic abilities and resources for unique educational opportunities.
Testing Experience
The knowledge and experience of taking an above-level test like the SAT or ACT is the primary benefit of the Talent Search. Students have the opportunity to build their test-taking skills and learn more about their academic abilities.
Texas Duke TIP accepts the following scores by grade administered for the TX TAKS:
6th grade: Mathematics Scale score > 2701
Reading Scale score > 2668
