[wintertime]

I would suspect that a homeschooler who was able to do well on CLEP and the ACT/SAT would be accepted by many, if not most, colleges regardless of age, wouldn't you think?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I did **not** discuss acceptance in college. My comments were entirely confined to eligibility for government and private scholarships ( and loans.) I am assuming that you were rushed when you read my posts. I know that your reading skills are excellent and I know that you would not deliberately create a strawman.

Also,....Getting a child accepted to college at the ages of 13, 12, and 13 would be **greatly** facilitated if they had better testing. Please believe me. I have had some experience with this. Great SAT scores at the age of 13 is no guarantee of acceptance in college. The SAT and ACT are not sufficiently comprehensive enough. For instance, the SAT will not show if that child has a grasp of 7th grade history, for instance.

That's why I suggested taking CLEP as well. They may call it SAT II tests now...

By the way, I can only guess that you were rushed when you read my post, but I was not responding to anything you said.

I was responding to a post by SoftballMominVA. She had been discussing the use of various tests by homeschoolers and others.
