It is nice to see other kids your age taking it, isn't it?
Mine was definitely the only talent search kid at that particular site. It was a little strange, but he was OK.
Our middle school does an end-of-year awards event, and among the awards is a certificate if you took the ACT or SAT through NUMATS. They don't care about the score, the award is for the reaching.
What an excellent idea! This also makes it seem more "normal" that kids would do out of grade testing. In our district, this gesture would make a big difference in encouraging parents to support early testing.
