DS8 just finished grade 7 maths (pre-algebra). I was thinking he should go through the Alg1/Geom/Alg2 sequence first before trying SAT or ACT maybe in about 2016, and the Explore test was to be a warm up and check up before that. There wasn't any strong reason to attempt the tests before covering the relevant courses, but come to think of it I can't actually remember if there was a really good reason for doing these tests even then. I think maths competitions are more significant. Also, it's getting time to do some maths other than these shallow mainstream courses.
