Congrats to your ds! Dc20 didn't end up taking it in middle school but fairly soon after that to figure out his strengths and weaknesses (2e). It helped chart his growth in different subjects and helped us figure out on which subjects he needed some help catching up to his ability.
I took it around 12 (similar scores). Basically, it helped me obtain summer/after school research experiences and begin taking college classes (summer/after school/weekend). My parents had me take it every year to figure out if/how much I was progressing in each subject over the years (not as useful when one hits ceilings early on). However, my middle school didn't think anything of it, as some of the seniors in my district had similar scores.
