Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment Did anyone get EXPLORE score for Feb 18, 2012?

The toolboxes actually have a message on the home screen if your child is an award winner. I found the message in my dd10 toolbox this morning.

Awesome! Us too!

I still haven't even gotten our scores yet!

I have not either--just sent an e-mail to Duke TIP because I actually need ours for some advocacy ASAP. I was beginning to think ours must be lost. I guess not! Hopefully soon!

I hear ya. We had a meeting where we needed the scores last Monday.

I called Duke TIP, but was referred to ACT Explore. I called ACT a couple of times. The last time, the rep said they had to wait until Monday (today) before they would reprint and send it again. She said that would be ten days. So based on that, ACT didn't even mail ours until April 6...

So ACT said they had already been sent? Argh...I guess I will call ACT today! Thanks for the info.

NUMATS 2011-2012 CTD Award Ceremony Qualifying Scores

EXPLORE test-takers must have the following minimum Sum of Scores(sum of English, math, reading and science scores) at their grade level:

EXPLORE Sum of Scores
3rd Graders >= 76
4th Graders >= 85
5th Graders >= 90
6th Graders >= 95

MidwestDad, thanks for the info about NUMATS qualifying scores - very helpful to have a frame-of-reference since our DS tested thru Duke TIP.

I posted this info on another thread, but I'll post it here by the NUMATS scores, as well. This is what Duke TIP told me over the phone re: this year's EXPLORE test: Approx 6,500 EXPLORE test-takers thru TIP in the 2011-12 year. Of those test-takers, 288 achieved a composite score of 23 or above and this qualifies those students for a state-level award. These students are not invited to the national ceremony (bummer, IMO).

This info was not included in the letter we received, so others here may find it useful. Our letter pertained to 7th grade search, which had nothing to do w/our DS.

A breakdown of last year's EXPLORE stats via TIP can be found on their web site - or so I was told but I haven't had a chance to look yet. Stats for this year will be up by early June.

yay finally got son's scores today...

WATG will be hosting the 2012 NUMATS Celebration in Madison on June 2, honoring those students who scored in the top 5% of test-takers in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin Score criteria for 2012 NUMATS Celebration:

EXP 4 E+R+M+S >= 76
EXP 5 E+R+M+S >= 83
EXP 6 E+R+M+S >= 89

If you know your state criteria, please share with us.

Have fun.
