Hi Dottie!
Now I'm really confused. Are you saying that I should sign DS, who is in 4th grade, up for the 4th/5th grade test so that he is in their system as a 4th grader? But somehow this test is for middle school students? So are they assuming that kids that are taking this test are working 2-3 grades above age level?

I knew that I should have had that extra pot of coffee this morning!
Okay.... Now I just read your second post, Dottie, and it makes a little bit more sense. But what would you recommend for a kid that is towards the end of the elementary spread? We also have a Prometric test center near us (Thanks a bunch Cym!!), which is currently more convenient than driving some ways for the Explore test. It seems like we would need to either do the 2nd/3rd grade SCAT, which would be too easy, or the 4th/5th grade SCAT which would be a serious challenge, or the 8th grade Explore. Any recommendations Dottie? Or maybe we should just wait a year, until we are a better fit?
