My son took the Explore test in February as part of the Duke TIP program. He did pretty well, scoring 22, which puts him at the 98th percentile for eighth graders.
His reading score was quite low, only 19, I think perhaps a reflection of a low processing speed. The WISC-IV that he took a couple of years ago put him in the 33rd percentile for processing speed. I think we can work on this with him to get his reading score up. I think reading is the easiest score to raise through practice and test-taking techniques.
Now for my question. Anyone know the correlation between Explore scores and ACT scores for early testers? Does a sixth-grader who makes a 22 on the Explore have a reasonable chance of making a 27 on the ACT as a seventh grader? I haven't been able to find any information. Any anecdotal information?
Thanks.
