I guess I'm surprised that you'd take it in high school when it "counts"--wasn't that the whole idea behind the talent search, allowing students to take above-level tests before they show up on your record? I'm confused. DS13 wanted to make sure his ACT scores would stay on his record (he worries he won't be able to do that well again), so I called and they said they stay and won't be erased miraculously.
