Out-o-level testing, such as the SAT or ACT
when given to younger students, oers the best
gauge o how appropriate the course work may
be or an individual.
In our experience, gited students rise to
the challenge o taking these tests, so long
as undue pressure is not placed upon them.
Students may take the SAT or ACT assessments
at any time and at any grade level. They can
also retake the tests and submit new results.
