My dd is 6th grade this year and I am having trouble deciding whether to have her take the EXPLORE or the ACT. Does anyone have a rule of thumb for which one to take? She took the EXPLORE last year, but has not taken a grade level test for years. The NUMATS (who we test through) site bases their recommendations on grade level tests. What would you do?

PS. Her highest score on the EXPLORE was 23 in English and her lowest was 15 in Reading with a composite of 19.
