Edgewood Middle School 8th graders will take the Practice Explore Test on Wednesday, October 24, during the school day. We ask that 8th grade students bring a calculator and extra #2 pencils to use during the testing.

ACT test scores are widely used for college entrance and placement decisions. At Irondale and Mounds View High School all junior students participate in an ACT administration for FREE during the school day. The Practice Explore emulates the ACT testing experience by providing students early exposure to ACT like questions, around 8th grade content, under similar timing conditions. Students take four achievement subject test in the areas of Reading, Math, English, and Science. Students are allowed 30 minutes to complete each test.

Practice Explore scores provide early indicators of whether students are on track for college. With plenty of time before students graduate, teachers can use this information to focus on areas of need.

More than ever before, it is important that all students have the skills needed to be successful in college and the workplace. Becoming college & career ready does not happen overnight; students develop these skills by taking rigorous courses in high school. The Practice Explore results, along with other student information, will help staff, students, and families determine course selection for high school.

Practice Explore test scores will be provided to families about 2-3 weeks after the test is completed. We look forward to sharing these results with families.
