My daughter is signed up to take the ACT through the Belin-Blank talent search and my son is taking the EXPLORE with them as they don�t offer the ACT or SAT until 7th grade. We are also considering signing them both up for the SAT through the Midwest Academic Talent Search. We are unsure about the SAT because the dates are not ideal with our schedules.

I suppose my expectation is that there will be more young testers amongst the group if we go through a talent search. I would expect there to be more security and supervision at the test site for a group of younger students. I also like the data to see how they compare to other academically able students in the same grade.
