2008 Year in Review

Freshmen and Sophomores to Do Testing

During first and second periods, all freshmen and sophomores will be taking their only standardized test this year on Thursday, November 20.

The freshmen are taking the EXPLORE and the sophomores are taking the PLAN. The PLAN and EXPLORE tests are developed by the ACT Corporation. The ACT is the college entrance exam that students must take in order to apply to colleges. Both tests have the same four sub-tests as the ACT (Math, English, Science and Reading) so taking these tests is good preparation for the ACT which students take during their junior year.

During third quarter, students will receive their test results. Sophomores will also be given an “anticipated ACT score range” predicting how they will do on the ACT based on this year’s PLAN scores. Students are encouraged to get a good night’s rest and eat a healthy protein-packed breakfast before the test.
