Hi EandCmom,
I'm glad your son was able to focus on the test and not the game he was missing. Ever since we signed up for our test date I lived in fear that some cool opportunity would present itself for that day and we'd have to make a hard decision. We were lucky in that it turned out to be a dull Feb day with nothing to compete with the test.
How did you explain his absence from the game to his fellow players and coach? We were trying to fly under the radar and didn't want to have to answer any questions about the test. Did you 'fess up or did you come up with a bland excuse?
The science section is last, so I think part of its challenge is stamina, since they have worked hard on the first 3 sections. At least, I know it was for DS; he said it was harder to focus on because he was tired.
Good luck waiting! I'm glad it was a positive experience!
