my kiddo is taking the Explore test next month and i have to drive about an hour and a half to get there. Didn't realize the test is at 8am!!! So, i'm worried he's going to be exhausted! Anyone have experience with this in the past? We were lucky that we could take the SCAT locally (he got high honors on both parts). The only reason we are doing it is he loves testing and it's near my cousin's house so we figured we could visit after and the kids could play. Also, he may skip a year of science so i was curious about how well he'd handle that part of the test. What do you think? I am worried the drive and early time will have an impact on performance. DS is 10.5, DYS, goes to a 1 yr + accelerated gifted school. I am going to tell him about it when he gets home from school and see how he feels about it. Thanks!
