[quote=Anonymous]It was recommended that we sign our daughter up for this program to take the SAT or ACT.  We are looking into the program, but I was hoping that someone here had some personal experiences with it.

It appears that we are just paying them to facilitate the taking of the SAT or ACT, and that if she is qualified, we can pay a ton of money for her to go to camp in the summer.  Is that about it?

In searching the internet, all I seem to find are parents who want their kids to go to College early, or to an Ivy League school.  If we don't have any interest in early college (beyond classes that she could take through the high school), and in her young 6th grade mind, Ivy's aren't even a consideration (she has sworn since she was in 1st grade that she was going to go to the US Air Force Academy like her Daddy, but those decisions are still far off for her) what will she get out of the test?

Thoughts?  I understand it won't HURT her to take the test, as the scores aren't reported when she is older, but I guess my question is why do it?

Thanks!
