Thanks Cathy and Dottie... Not sure how I missed that you don't need to wait for score to register for the family programs. Here I was waiting to test DS before registering... At least I don't have to wait for the results and can submit my application now. That certainly takes the pressure off regarding the scores. Just to be absolutely clear, taking the SCAT and receiving the appropriate score allows a child to participate in educational programs for that particular section and/or summer programs? Does it affect anything else? Also, are there other programs we can participate in without the necessary scores? TIA... I did read the website but I seem to have missed several key points...
