Good for her! It is nice to see other kids your age taking it, isn't it? My son was most nervous about being the youngest (he was familiar with the test-taking site, and he took it the same day as his HS Jr brother), but walking in he saw a couple kids he knew from class and a couple from activities in surrounding towns.
Funny about making a pattern...our HS counselors tell us that on one test that "doesn't count", some students will make not-so-nice designs with the ovals. Sigh. Teens.
Our middle school does an end-of-year awards event, and among the awards is a certificate if you took the ACT or SAT through NUMATS. They don't care about the score, the award is for the reaching.
Congrats on your daughter stepping up with a happy attitude! I hope you went for a fun lunch after
