I think you meant “12th grader” in your OP, but your point of course remains.

@AroundHere , let us know if the question makes sense or if we need to explain something better. Essentially , Home School parents get results before students in public, private, or charter schools because they serve as the Guidance Counselor role and therefore will have access before the parents of those enrolled in another type of school. The only thing it will “change” is how quickly information is learned. As @DiotimaDM said, the state, score, and positive confirmation helps narrow the cut off score for everyone in the state.

Hope that makes sense.
