Yes, my thinking is to do 2 tests. DS doesn't mind tests so he'll be find with it. I'm toying w/ the idea of having him take state test at his school and then have him take out of level IOWA for my own info. I won't be giving it. My teacher friend has agreed to proctor the IOWA. I think DS will perform better and not keep stopping to get a snack or ask me questions. But then I don't know if I want to even be bothered w/ the school or if DS will feel comfortable going back so maybe I should do as Lorel suggested and do CAT and IOWA a few months apart.

Yes I don't want to accelerate him in the eyes of the school so I'd rather have him take on grade level test for them.
