INCOMING STUDENTS

EXPLORE

PLACEMENT TESTING

 

EXPLORE is a standardized test created by ACT. It has four sections. Math--Science--English—Reading.

 

SMA administers EXPLORE to ALL INCOMING FRESHMEN, SOPHOMORES, and JUNIORS. The results are used to assist in placement of students (i.e., honors, AP, developmental, etc.). It provides us with valuable information that is an ADDITIONAL piece to the puzzle to help put together a cohesive picture of a student.

 

No accommodations are provided on the test. Students that receive 504 or ESE accommodations are already identified as such in the school records and that information is factored into the untimed EXPLORE results. We do not want to single out students needing accommodations during this testing.

 

NEW to SMA -- incoming sophomores and juniors should also take the EXPLORE test.

 

There is a $25 fee for taking the test. Families who require assistance with the fee can receive a scholarship.

REGISTRATION for the test is handled through GUIDANCE.

 

Checks are to be made payable to SMA. Please send your check to:

 

Counseling office

Attn: Gale Downs

Sarasota Military Academy

801 N. Orange Ave, Sarasota,

FL 34236.

 

Please write in on the memo line of your check your student's full name and the date they wish to test.

 

Please contact Gale Downs by email for assistance gale_downs@sarasota.k12.fl.us

 

 

ADMINISTRATION of the test is handled through Major Donehew.

DEPARTMENT CHAIRS for the respective departments receive test results, which can then be disseminated to department teachers.

 

 

Parents and students should arrive at SMA by 8:15.  There will be a brief presentation for parents and students at 8:30.  Students will be assigned a test administrator and taken to a classroom to receive the EXPLORE test.  Parents can return to pick up students at 11:15 (APPROX).

 

The dates for the EXPLORE test are:

 

June 9

August 1
