Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy SAT - via talent search or individually?

I like going through the talent search. I like to get the reports of comparisons and even if you're not interested in distance ed or summer institutes, wouldn't it be cool to see what's out there? Maybe you'll change your mind sometime (most testimonials say the summer institutes were what sustained the smart kids between summers).

Our "talent search" is $25, so it's not a big deal (Rocky Mountain). I think even this fee is waived if you qualify.

One note of caution for SAT takers. It VERY long. My DS 11 took it in December and he survived but was wiped out. I left him at 7:45 am and picked him up at 12:45 pm. It's a LONG test. The ACT without writing is at least an hour shorter and may be a good way to start.
