I've thought about the SAT/ACT, but don't want to push too much for DS9. I actually asked him and he said, "Can I just take it next year?" It's such a long test and the writing part of SAT intimidates him. If the EXPLORE shows something absolutely stellar, maybe I'll reintroduce the subject.
DS9 finished all the tests, though his reality is sometimes different from everyone else's. When DS13 took EXPLORE at age 10 he did not finish and he came out exhausted and "beat up" (saying it was much harder than sample material). Granted DS13 had not been introduced to algebra, while DS9 has. I guess we'll see.
I can't correlate for the same year EXPLORE/ACT, but 3 yrs ago DS13 scored 20 composite on EXPLORE (22 on English, 17 math, 19 reading, and 21 science). A year later he took ACTs and had 26 composite and a year after that his composite was 30.
