2013 EXPLORE Honorees

In January and February, 9,599 4th–6th Grade Talent Search participants took the EXPLORE test. This eighth-grade exam serves as an optional above-level test for fourth, fifth, and sixth graders in the talent search. The test results and their explanations give students insights into their academic abilities. Testing also allows students to compare their scores with their own academically advanced peers and with eighth graders. 343 EXPLORE test-takers earned a composite score in the 99th percentile or higher and will receive recognition in honor of their achievement.

Talent search participants receive information about EXPLORE testing in July.
