I plan on having GS9 take the Explore in January. Sometime over the next month we'll start looking at some example tests and look for some weaker spots that would be easiest to fill in. In the mean time, he's having a blast with Monsterous Maths and exploring Science, Social Studies, & History in more depth than his regular class is doing. His gifted pull-out class this semester is doing a study of the book 'Hatchet'. They're also writing a variety of essays.
