Does anyone know of any online resources to help me increase my GT score other than Peterson's? I am trying to raise my GT score and find study materials for the SIFT exam but do not know where to look.

Your education center has a GT improvement class. I would contact them.

The SIFT is not an easy thing to find study materials for. I went through all the old AFAST books to help me try and get a picture of what was to come. I suggest going through a lot of math problems. I even checked out books to study for the GED because I thought the old math AFAST stuff would not be hard enough. I was right. The math portion was pretty difficult imo. I've always done well with English questions so I concentrated on that subject less.
For the math stuff, http://www.khanacademy.org is a pretty good resource.
I looked up helicopter study flash cards online. I made about 250 flash cards. I only recognized maybe 10 of the questions that I was given.

My GT score is 121. I passed the SIFT with a 58.
I applied last year but was not selected. I plan to apply again once after the required one year wait time has passed.
