Any age below 13 the way to sign up for the SATs -
Go to the guidance office at any high school and ask for a SAT booklet. You will see a scannable application in the middle - fill it out and mail it to College Board company.

My son couldn't bear to sit through it at 11, but loved the experience at age 12 and 13. The school won't see the scores unless you show them, and the scores magically dissapear each June. So you don't have to worry about doing harm. I wouldn't send a 9-11 year old unless they had already done a practice test at home and scored at least 500.

I think the Skype idea has promise.

I've forgotten - do you have WISC scores? Do you have an idea of 'my child is way different than peers' or 'there is a whole mini-group with similar needs who isn't getting their needs met?'

Best Wishes,
Grinity
