Predicting ACT Score
Selecting H.S. Courses (informed choice)
Using them for what?
1 6 11 16 21 26 31 36
ACT
PLAN
EXPLORE
Common Scale Score
1-25
1-32
1-36
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.
Your High School Course Plans Compared to Core
Core = MINIMUM number of courses recommended for college preparedness.
Your Scores
Assumes the student will continue to progress through their coursework.
EXPLORE has a similar predictor for the PLAN.
ACT Score Estimator
College ReadinessA prediction for success (B or better) in an entry level college course
Career InformationBased on a career interest inventory the students took before the test began.
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…)
Keeping a perspective…

Ways to improve your score…
The Arrowhead Course Guide – (online) is starting to give EXPLORE and PLAN scores as “predictors of success” in certain courses
◦ English
