    Hi, I'm new here. I just want to share how testing helped me accelerate my high school schedule. In February, I took the ACT through NUMATS (I'm in 8th grade). I scored very well. 33 in English, 34s in math and science, and 30 in reading. My gifted language arts teacher took notice, and advocated on my behalf at the high school. I now am going to take 10th grade language arts, 10th grade us history, and 11/12th grade computer science. Another happy story =D
