Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment where to take ACT Explore?

Traditionally, most talent searches offer the Explore in January/February rather than year round so that they can compare the scores more meaningfully. However, I recall receiving info last year about the decision of some talent searches to offer the Explore again in May/June. It is possible that your DD may still have a chance to take it this year. Carnegie-Mellon allows 3rd graders but they are smaller so less likely to have added a May/June administration. Your best bet will probably be Northwestern or Belin-Blank. You don't need to live close to the college becasue they often have testing sites in many other states. We tested through Carnegie-Mellon and Belin-Blank and we are not in PA or Iowa. Just google for the portal to their sites and email the contact person as necessary.
