Unless they change their criteria this year your DD will not be invited to the Grand Ceremony and scores do not carry to subsequent year for award purposes.
The Grand Ceremony is only for 7th and 8th graders who score at or above the requisite levels on SAT, ACT, SCAT or STB. The only exception is for younger participants who score high enough for SET (Study of Exceptional Talent) by scoring at least 700 on SAT Math or SAT CR.
DYS changed their criteria last summer. On the one hand it is easier because you only need one set of scores, either IQ or ability/achievement. On the other hand, it is harder to qualify through Explore and SAT now because they raised the minimum scores on the Explore and you need the composite plus either Math or CR on the SAT.
