EXPLORE

The EXPLORE test is often used for placement into classes at public high schools. It is essentially an 8^th grade version of the ACT.

What’s on the EXPLORE test?

The EXPLORE test has four sections, each 30 minutes long:

• English
• Math
• Reading
• Science

When do I take the EXPLORE test?

Individual school districts determine exact dates, but the EXPLORE is generally taken sometime between October and January.

What other factors go into my class placement?

When determining your class placement, high schools may also consider your grades, teacher recommendations, and parent input.
