Explore for 8th and 9th graders

It's Time to EXPLORE!

Taking EXPLORE® in 8th or 9th grade tells you things you need to know—to plan your high school courses, prepare for the ACT, or choose a career direction.

The Test

EXPLORE includes four multiple-choice tests:

Your skills in these subjects will make a big difference—in school and, eventually, in your career.

Once you know what each test covers, your EXPLORE test results can show you where you're strong or weak.

Your Score

The EXPLORE Student Score Report gives information about your knowledge, skills, interests, and plans. You can use this information as you plan your high school coursework and begin thinking about college and work.

• Your report tells you how you did on the EXPLORE tests and how your scores compare to those of other students across the nation.
• It contains information about your educational and career plans, interests, high school coursework plans, and the amount of help you think you need in seven areas.

Your Future

When you took EXPLORE, you answered questions about your educational and career plans.

This information can help you learn more about careers, clarify your goals, and begin to plan your future—including your high school courses and, perhaps, a college education.
