ACT Explore Information for Parents
 

Why should my child take EXPLORE?

EXPLORE helps students identify areas of academic strength and weakness in four areas important for success in college and the workplace—English, math, reading, and science. Since EXPLORE is a curriculum-based test, EXPLORE scores show the knowledge and skills that students are likely to have in each of these areas. EXPLORE also includes a career planning component design to help students consider possible career options.
EXPLORE can provide your son/daughter with an early indicator of readiness for college, provide important information for building a high school course plan, and help him/her identify careers in which he/she might be interested.

What's the test like?

EXPLORE includes four multiple-choice tests covering English, mathematics, reading, and science—the same subjects covered by the ACT test.

Subject	Number of Questions	How Long It Takes
English	40	30 minutes
Math	30	30 minutes
Reading	30	30 minutes
Science	28	30 minutes

EXPLORE also includes a 72 item interest inventory that asks questions about the types of work tasks you would or would not like to do.

Please help us child by encouraging your child to put forth his/her best effort, get a good night's rest and have a healthy breakfast.  Students who are absent on the testing days will have to be rescheduled for testing. Please avoid these two days (March 5 and 6) for appointments, early release, etc. Thank you for your support!
