I don't know about the ceremony, sorry, but I had a few questions, if you are willing to share (and anyone else whose child has taken the test). First of all, your ds did amazingly well- congrats to him!
As we look at our son's scores and try to figure out what they mean, I was wondering:
Do you think that the test is an accurate reflection of his abilities?
Is this his first time taking it?
What is your schooling situation? I am trying to figure out how accurately the tests reflect our perception/reality of our kids. Can a smart kid who is in a regular 3rd grade curriculum extrapolate that knowledge to a high enough level to do well on the EXPLORE, for example, or is it a test where you must have been exposed to the material through acceleration or accommodation?
Anyway, just curious...
It sounds like a long trip to Chicago, but it might be fun to do a road trip/mini vacation for the weekend. I've heard it is a beautiful campus.
