Hi, I'm new here, and I was wondering if anyone has had a nine year old child, or younger, take the SAT. Is that a good idea? Does it help or if the child doesn't do well, does it have a negative effect on their self-steem? I have a nine year old, he's homeschooled and he's currently working on a mixture of Algebra I & II (the reason is that its both is because he's really on Algebra I but somehow he's picked up a lot of Algebra II and Geometry on his own). Anyway, I'm not sure if having him try for the SAT or Act might be a good idea because I would like to apply to DYS and can't afford IQ testing; the SAT or Act would be much cheaper. Does anyone have any advice? I would really appreciate it.
