  1. Using YourPLAN and EXPLORE Results

  2. Using them for what? • College and Career Readiness Benchmarks • Predicting ACT Score • Selecting H.S. Courses (informed choice)

  3. Common Scale Score Students would be expected to receive roughly the same score on Explore and Plan if they took both tests on the same day. Each PLAN score is interpretable as the ACT test score that a student would be expected to achieve if that student had taken the ACT the same day as the PLAN test. 1-25 1-32 1-36

  4. Your High School Course Plans Compared to Core Core = MINIMUM number of courses recommended for college preparedness.

  5. Your Scores

  6. ACT Score Estimator • Assumes the student will continue to progress through their coursework. • EXPLORE has a similar predictor for the PLAN.

  7. College Readiness A prediction for success (B or better) in an entry level college course

  8. Career Information Based on a career interest inventory the students took before the test began.

  9. Keeping a perspective… • One test is only so accurate at assessing knowledge gained. - Daily Factors (diet, fatigue, motivation, outside stressors) - Does not asses knowledge in other subject areas where students may excel (i.e. Social Studies, technological aptitude, interpersonal skills, etc…)

  10. Ways to improve your score… • See inside of your results report • Hard work in school – “work smarter” • Take the appropriate coursework • Be at your best on test day

  11. Course Selection • The Arrowhead Course Guide – (online) is starting to give EXPLORE and PLAN scores as “predictors of success” in certain courses • English • Social Studies • Science

  12. Why??? • Schools are using data more and more • Everyone takes these tests • Assesses specific skills
