If there are few options available where you live, what do you hope to accomplish with testing at such a young age?

I would expect that if you aren't in some city where there are lots of competitive programs that testing now isn't going to help you much. Just make sure you get him well grounded in basic and continue let him progress at whatever speed seems right for him. If there is a problem that you see then I understand looking for testing, if there is a requirement for some program then I understand testing, but it kind of sounds like you don't have a real need for it at this point.
