Description
 
 
The University of California, Irvine sponsors the UCI Academic Talent Search (ATS) which is a two-fold testing program designed primarily for students in grades six through ten. It identifies students with extraordinary mathematical and/or verbal reasoning abilities, assists participants in their placement in pre-college programs, and offers information and materials which will aid parents and educators of high-ability students. By participating in ATS, you will gain valuable information about your mathematical and verbal abilities early in your academic career, enabling you to plan the most appropriate college-preparatory program. The Academic Talent Search also offers you an opportunity to sharpen your test-taking skills in preparation for the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT I) and for the Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test (PSAT), which is the basis for National Merit Scholarship awards. You will have the opportunity to become familiar with these reasoning-ability tests and learn strategies for taking them well in advance of your crucial junior and senior years of high school.

This talent search seems like a good opportunity for families in the Orange County area of California. UC Irvine seems to offer a lot of good academic programs, even for those of pre-college age. There is a fee for the tests as well as the talent search application, but I think the cost is reasonable considering the talent search could lead to good opportunities for my child.
