Explore

The EXPLORE® program is designed to help eighth and ninth graders explore a broad range of options for their future.

It prepares students not only for their high school coursework but for their post–high school choices as well.
EXPLORE can serve as an independent program or as the entry point into ACT's College and Career Readiness System.
EXPLORE® contains four curriculum-based assessments: English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science. The assessment is based on the major areas of high school and postsecondary instructional programs and measures the skills and knowledge needed for college success.
Additionally, EXPLORE includes a career exploration component that stimulates students' thinking about future plans and relates personal characteristics to career options.
