HK, thanks. Yes, I do know what you mean. Ds usually overthinks things as well.
That said, what I'm also concerned about is that he'll be taking the test with his grade, not his age-peers, and may miss out on cutoffs and opportunities that he might not had he been taking it with his age-peers(and I'm talking about above-level testing here, not necessarily when he's expected to for colleges because by then it would be the achievement test it's intended to be). But then the alternative, the risk of keeping things the same, would not have been better...
I fear I'm not being clear, but my concern is that we've taken AWAY opportunities by trying to GIVE him opportunities.
For instance, ds was a DukeTip participant in 4th and 5th grade. This year, because he skipped 6th, he'll need to take the ACT for 7th graders in order to remain in DukeTip. I have no idea if he will qualify now.
