SAT before 13th (urban legend or true?)

Our S actually enjoyed tests and thought of them as the “new and interesting assignment or project” that the instructions in the tests reference. He actually found them stimulating (even though somewhat tiring afterwards), and honestly WANTED to take them.

D was not quite as excited about tests, but took them above grade level because S was doing so and didn’t like to be left out of anything. It’s one of the few ways to get any information about where the child that is clearly above level in terms of how far above level the child is.

For both my kids, they tested at college vocabulary and reading level when in grade school, which corresponded to our observations of them and confirmed to us why they never studied for vocabulary tests and found them silly.
