Am I gifted or just bright?

I saw my mum looking up information about the johns Hopkins program for gifted and talented students. She was on their website because I scored above 95 on my ERBs. I did the SCAT test but i only got into the online programs for verbal and math. Last school year i was in the second highest math class(fast moving) and on my mastery i got a 95( 5 points extra credit so i really got 100). Also in my math class i was very bored because i already knew all of the material that my math teacher taught us. The school year before the past one i got a 99 on my math mastery(no bonus) and most of the time was put with the most advanced group. Last school year in math it was very rare for me to get below an A on everything my math teacher gave us to do. At the end of the year i finished with not grade below an A in all classes with an A+ in math (I go to a private school) . I looked up the signs someone gifted and i have the majority of them. In all of my classes i learn extremely quickly and have never gotten below a b+ on a test when I'm not trying. Again in the past school year in my math class i never got below a 99 on a graded classwork/test/quiz. If your wondering why i want to know it's because i just want to. Also i was on funbrain.com and i did levels 2 grades above me and finished the math arcade. My mum also says that i am more mature then most people my age. One time she had to ask if i could be moved into the next grade level class. Basically the only signs of a gifted child that i don't have are collecting materials and i enjoy my peers. One last thing. On all of the online quizzes that i've done they all said that i was gifted. And to make sure it was a little accurate i made my older sister do the same test/quizzes and it said that she wasn't. I also have a pretty good memory. Even if i am not involved in a situation i can remember conversations or words that were spoken.
