Cricket2 - everything through and including 8th grade is not permanent, so test to your heart content.
After eight grade it becomes a little tricky. Both ACT and SAT have a "score choice" policy now BUT some colleges still want to see all scores. Go figure.
We have decided not to pursue ACT/SAT any more till son will be ready for college entrance. While I know that his scores would be good, I don't think that it is wise to have too many of them.
I know that practice would be good Cym, but I worry that he will have to take it 2-3 times in the future anyway .
PSAT for practice last Saturday (the score will not count for anything nor be included anywhere) Yep, practice alleviates fear. He is not bothered by any standardized tests at this point.
