Thank you everyone for the information. I am trying to wedge the June SAT into our calendar, but it's not pretty. Is the ACT an option at all for an 8th grader? Would the information it yields be as helpful? Is it testing the same things?
By all means use whichever test is more convient. For advocacy it's good to use the test that is 'most known' in your local area - so for us it's SAT all the way. But since I don't know where you live, it's just as possible that ACT is the better test for your child.
((Sometimes I try to post 'SAT or ACT' but then I feel like I'm just being confusing!))
