Explore Test Results
Teacher Guided Subject Area Analysis
Teachers,
Thank you for your interest and willingness to review the content area results of the ACT Explore test with your students. This will provide all students with the opportunity to recognize their strengths and weaknesses as they continue to prepare for college.
ACT Explore Review Timeline:
Below we have identified the timeframe your department will have to conduct your review. At the end of your review week (on Friday) you will return the test booklets and answer documentsJill Suhajda. The counseling department will then compile the information and hand it to the next department for their week of review.
We are not asking you to use all of your time in any one day to review your content area. Instead you could choose some problems to review at the start of each class for the week – like a “Bell Ringer”.
Social Studies Department- May 10th -13th
Counselors will schedule classroom visits to start the process. The counselors will need about 20-25 minutes of a class period to review the overall test results (percentiles, interpretation of career interest information, etc) so include that time into your planning for the review.

This will allow you to focus on the strong items as well as those that may need to be readdressed. NOTE- Look closely at the number of the test item; they are not in order.
