Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment 2nd Aptitude test for dual college enrollment?

I am enquiring of our local community colleges about dual college enrollment.

Our state law requires students under 16 years to have a current aptitude test score.

I am wondering if any of your students have taken a second aptitude test to qualify for dual college enrollment? What test did you choose? Who administered it?

We have a qualifying WISC score, but it won't be current by the time my DYS seeks college enrollment.

Any advice?

That's unusual. Is there any possibility they will accept an SAT or ACT score instead?

No--

The college wants an aptitude (IQ) test along with qualifying SAT achievement scores for students under 16.

Wow! Our DS, then 12 and in 7th grade, just had to get the signature of his principal and superintendent of our school district and meet with the CC's dean of admissions. We brought SAT scores to the meeting with the dean and they didn't even glance at them. Asking for both seems pretty wild - do most kids below 16 even have IQ scores?
