K isn't wonderful and fun if it's a bad fit... It's curling up in a fetal position sobbing and begging not to go and asking why there's no one like you and what's wrong with you...

Where we are, testing and a professional directive is 100% critical to early entry, acceleration or pretty much any other consideration. I put off testing my youngest because testing young is tricky and she's so social that I hoped she'd cope... Then I found myself wishing I'd at least BOOKED the assessment earlier on, so that I didn't have to wait 4+ months just to get an appointment once I decided we really had to act right NOW... You can always cancel or delay an assessment and some lucky person gets a cancellation with a specialist they're desperate to see. I really can't believe I made the same mistake of waiting too long to book AGAIN.

But like others have said I am also aware that having tested at 4.5 we will have to repeat tests in the future.
