MidwestAcademic Talent Search This is an opportunity for your child to take what's known as an "out-of-level" test to determine the true level at which your child is achieving. If your child scores in the top 5% on grade level achievement tests, you should consider registering your child to take these tests. Children in grades 3-9 are eligible. Children in grades 3-6 take the Explore test (an 8th grade level test) and children in grades 6-9 take the SAT or ACT (the scores don't count until 9th grade, so it also serves as good practice for when they do count).
Paper Registration Deadline: October 30th Testing dates are in January and February in the Twin Cities area. Online registration is available and has a later deadline. Cost is $54 for Explore, $61 for the ACT, $73 for the SAT.
