I didn't want to hijack the other thread on testing, so I thought I'd post my question on it's own. My apologies if it's been discussed before.
What are the reasons or benefits for taking some of the other tests, like the Explore? I've looked it up and see that it's helpful in identifying strengths/weaknesses and for future planning, but I'm wondering what benefit (if any) there is for younger kids taking it. I don't need it for school support or anything that I can think of right now. DS10 was fortunate enough to get a grade skip when it was needed. So, what are some of the reasons/benefits of taking the test and having the info? Thanks.
