8th Grade Students and EXPLORE



On Tuesday, October 10th, all 8th grade students will take the EXPLORE Assessment.  The EXPLORE is a standardized test that prepares 8th grade students for postsecondary education and career options.  There are 128 questions on the test covering English, Math, Reading, and Science.
It shows students:
· areas needing extra help or additional courses
· suggestions for improving skills
· careers that match the student’s interests.

Students who take the EXPLORE are more ready for postsecondary education.  In order to do well on the test: make sure you get plenty of sleep the night before, follow directions on the test exactly and ask for help if needed, pace yourself as it is a timed test, use the process of elimination if you are not sure of the answer and then take your best guess, and once you finish, go back and review your work.
