I was looking at the DYS requirements, and am kind of surprised that the 6th grade scores are so "low". I would expect that your average PG 6th grader (that phrase makes no sense, LOL!) should easily ceiling an average 8th grade test!
I thought that too. I would think there would be a lot of ceiling issues on the Explore, at least for PG-ish 6th graders. Isn't the ceiling 25? We chose the ACT this year because of that (DS is in 6th and could have done either) and, at least on his practice test DS got at or over 25 on 3 of the 4 subtests (all but math) and that was several months ago and I know there are kids who are ahead of DS (not at his school, but in general).
