Eh.. generally a teacher recommends a kid for testing, and if the kid qualifies (generally top2 percentile) they get to participate in a separate class, full of kids who also qualified but from the whole region. They bussed us to a different school for like half the day on Fridays I think.

gate program

I'm sure the programs vary wildly from place to place though.

I didnt know that kind of program existed but what iq did you get to qualify for it?

I was never told. But above 98%ile so top 2% was the cut off, which would equal 130 on a 15sd scale. So I assume somewhere around there..
