My ds in 8th took it yesterday. This will be his 5th time taking it starting in 4th grade. It varies each year—seems to be getting harder each year. He has never been intimidated by test which can be good and bad.

Kids need to understand that scores in the teens are good scores. Kudos to kids that take it especially if they are younger.

If your are pretty mathy and have some competition experience and do some practice tests you can get into the 20's pretty easy.
