<p>Thank you both for your detailed responses. Definitely a Catch-22! I don’t think my son will qualify beyond the commended level so the concern is not as great as it is for NMSFs, but the entire communication process is interesting. Payment for the exam is to the HS but the test is a CB test. </p>
<p>Fortunately, I think our GCs are on top of things like this as they are used to dealing with a somewhat demanding parent body. Thanks again!</p>
