Thanks. Really, I'm just trying to see if this is something we should pursue. We live about an hour from the testing sites in our state and thus would be similarly far away from any classes and institutes. But online courses would be doable. And, I was recently thinking that experience taking standardized tests is never a bad thing. But, I can't tell if in our situation it would be worth it or not.
My HG DD8 is in 4th and doing well and she's definitely on the tail end of the curve of her age-mates, but will she be compared with her grade-mates (to whom she also compares well but not quite as highly)? Would she even qualify for the classes?
And, also, are the classes mostly for interest or do they get credit in some way for the courses? At this point we've been okay with the academics she's getting, but it would be nice for her to take a fun but challenging course online in the summer. In a few years, though, academic credit would be nice if it were available, since our local schools don't have a lot of AP or CIS classes.
Too, if your child takes the SAT/ACT as part of a talent search, do future colleges see those scores good or bad?
