I took it in the 7th grade as well. Scored somewhere in the 20's, really don't remember if it was 21 or 29. I didn't care but was sopissed off at my parents. I remember bitching at them for days afterwards because of it. I mean I was really upset and to this day they still laugh about how mad I was at them for making me sit in a classroom for 4 hours on a Saturday taking a test when I hadn't done anything wrong.

Oh, and I got invited to attend the "gifted" school because of the test as well. Told parents frick no, no way in hell I was leaving my friends for a nerd school.

Parents dropped it and that was that. They knew how I was furious for days after they made me take that test and I think they knew it would have been an ugly all out war for years if they put me in that school and I might never forgive them.

Yeah. I got stuff from colleges from all over the country as a result of it.
