Facebook Pixel TIP-KY Fourth-Sixth Grade | Western Kentucky University

Grades 4-6


The Registration Process

  1. Educators register eligible students with the TIP-KYSM Registration Page.
  2. First register with TIP-KYSM, then you will receive a link to request a testing date in your school and provide additional information. You will need to name a proctor who will be administering the test at your school.
  3. The link will walk you through the payment process which can be set up through the school or students’ families. You can also choose to send a link to families to register their child or the school can enter all the students.

Who is Eligible?
Students in grades 4 - 6 can take the I-Excel test. These students are scoring high on grade-level standardized tests (top 10% of age group) on at least one subject. There are exceptions to any rule, so teachers or parents may recommend high-potential students who do not meet these general guidelines.

What does it cost?
Cost is $49 per student or $22 for students who qualify for free/reduced lunch.

When is the test?
Test dates are determined by the schools.

How long is the test?
Testing takes approximately two and a half hours and may be split over two days, if needed; however, we recommend allowing for three hours for total testing time.

What happens after the test?
Both educators and the families will receive an extensive report explaining the student scores and comparing them to 8th graders and to bright students in their same grade. In addition to scores, the report will provide useful information for both the educators and families regarding enrichment and possible acceleration options that are appropriate, depending on the results for each subject area.
