Also, for those of you who have been through this before, should we be taking this more seriously?

Our oldest took the SAT as part of the Duke TIP program in 7th grade, but we sent him in cold. We felt the idea was to expose him to the test, not stress him out about taking it at this point. We considered having him prep a little for it in 8th grade, but ultimately he did really well the first time out so we punted and he didn't take it again at all. (He did take the ACT as a Jr...).
We also had the option to expose the twins to the test a couple years later, but decided against it, and both did real well on the ACT last year.
