Our wait is over!!! Our Explore scores are in. DD9 did very well, but her scores surprised me. Science was the highest, then English, Reading and lowest was math. All are above DYS guidelines and taking into consideration we really don't afterschool or prep, I'm pleased.

We got the national comparison and DD got a kick out of the fact that she "passed" 8th grade. We will not get CTD comparison scores until mid April, so not sure if DD is in the 98th percentile or not.

Dottie, hang in there. Next year I will just think the wait is 8 weeks and leave it at that. I don't think DD is ready for ACT, so we will endure another Explore wait.
