Seventh Grade Duke TIP Program
For seventh grade families, The Duke University Talent Search materials are now available online at www.tip.duke.edu/7gts and in the Middle School Office if you are interested. These materials explain the program and will help you in deciding whether you would like your daughter to participate if she is eligible. The School does not sponsor or suggest this testing but does provide a location for you to pick up materials if you wish. Duke also encourages gathering information and enrolling online. Students are eligible if they have scored at the 95th percentile or higher, based on national norms, on any one of the following ERB or other national standardized tests: mathematics, quantitative reasoning, verbal reasoning, or reading comprehension.

If your daughter is eligible, and if she wishes to participate, she needs to take either the SAT test or the ACT test. Students should select only one test (SAT or ACT) and only one test date. The SAT exam will be given on November 4, 2017 and on December 2, 2017. Your daughter may take the ACT test on either December 9, 2017 or February 10, 2018. Registration deadlines vary depending upon which test date is chosen; please check the Duke TIP website for additional test dates and application deadline dates. If your daughter receives academic accommodations at school, please do not have her take either test for this program until you have spoken with Shelley Cave, our Director of Learning Services. There are guidelines within the ACT and SAT testing programs that must be satisfied (even when taking the test “for practice” or Duke TIP in seventh grade) that greatly affect accommodations received when your daughter tests in Upper School. If you have any questions about your daughter's eligibility for this experience, or if you would like to discuss the program, please feel free to call me at 214-360-6401.
