My 10yo is proud of the score he earned as an 8yo, and the prospect of taking the SAT motivated him to study algebra when he was eight.
I will likely have my other children, who are not as precocious, take the SAT in 6th and/or 7th grade. The schools here do not identify children as gifted, but I would like them to form that self-concept based on their scores (and doing well in school).
