slight hijack—
At what age are some of you finding your kids ready to tackle/try the SAT or ACT?
The school he is going to says they would like all their students to try it before they finishes 8th grade.
I think the answer depends on the LOG of the kid as well as what the kids have been exposed. Generally, talent search will give SAT/ACT starting at 7th grade but some PG/EG kids have taken it in 6th grade or earlier. Also, if the kid wants to qualify for THINK summer institute, he/she must take it before 16 and before turning 13 to apply John Hopkins CTY-SET.
Another reason for taking before 9th grade is that, those scores may not carry over to college admission.
