From the Pleasanton Unified School District:
PUSD Students in grades 7 & 8 may take the SAT at Harvest Park on January 26, 2013. (8:00 AM - 1:00 PM) Students with advanced reasoning ability who are mature enough to handle taking a test designed for high school students may consider taking the SAT as a 7th or 8th grader. However, students should not be pushed to do so.
Students will take the Mathematics, Reading and Writing portions of the test, but only the scores on the Mathematics and Reading portions will be scored for Talent Search. (Individual Subject Area tests will NOT be given at Harvest Park.)
Please note that these scores do not count for college admission. Benefits of
participating in the JHU CTY Talent Search include the opportunity to take an out of grade level test, a recognition ceremony for qualified students and summer and distance learning classes.
There is a 2-part process to apply for JHU CTY Talent Search and to register for the SAT:
