Well. I just called Duke TIP. They do not have any plan yet.
My DD took SCAT as a 2nd grader. Yes, not a lot of teachers know what the SCAT is. Not a lot of teachers know what Explore is either. EVen one of the gifted teacher at the school :-(
My DD took Explore at 4th grade and is planning to take it again next year in 6th grade. It seems like she may have to take SAT in 6th.
For younger kids, SCAT which is available starting at 2nd grade is good for out of level testing but not an approved test for DYS qualification.
Since people do not know what SCAT was, I had to educate the school administrators and along the way, I learned how to advocate.
