EXPLORE Test
2008 EXPLORE Testing
Duke TIP 4th/5th Grade Talent Search students can learn more about their academic talents by taking the EXPLORE test. The EXPLORE test was developed by ACT for 8th graders to evaluate their academic development. Duke TIP offers EXPLORE to academically talented elementary students as an above-level test to assess the student’s academic level and potential.
Only those students who are currently enrolled in the Duke TIP 4th/5th Grade Talent Search are eligible to register for EXPLORE testing. You must include your TIPID number (a 10-digit number beginning with 2006 or 2007) on the registration form. Your TIPID can be found on any materials sent to you from the Duke TIP 4th/5th Grade Talent Search and is also located on the bottom left-hand side of the 4th/5th Grade Talent Search Merit Certificate you received upon enrollment. If you cannot locate your TIPID or are unsure of your TIPID number, please call (919) 668-9138, and we will be happy to assist you.
