DD took the SAT as a talent search. She scored in the B/C range. She attends a 7 -12 school. Prior to the results we were having difficulties with her English/Humanities classes. Once we showed her scores we were given a lot more flexibility in her classes. The school district does not allow middle schoolers in high school classes except in math and foreign languages. We could not access high school classes but they allowed her to create her own English classes for three semesters now. She took a college class last semester using her scores and taking a writing test. So overall we have been happy about the test. We are planning for her to take it again but I will just pay through the SAT site rather than a talent search as I have seen no benefits from the talent search.
