I'm happy to see that my question inspired such a great discussion! I have learned so much about the tests just from reading this one thread. Thanks again Dottie and everyone for your information. I'm going to go ahead and schedule him as soon as I know what our school situation will be next year (in March). I have no idea how he'll do on some of those tests simply because we've never tried. He's reading around a 3rd grade level so I'd imagine he'll be able to spell more than I think!
