NEW ASPIRE Test Prep Tutoring

Take the Pre-test for the ACT Exam

education, school, technology and internet concept - little studAspire has replaced ACT’s earlier pre-assessments, EXPLORE (for 8th and 9th grades) and PLAN (for 10th grade) with ASPIRE. ASPIRE is a new, broader assessment of core skills for students preparing  to take the ACT college entrance exam.

ASPIRE assessments are available for students beginning as young as 3rd grade, and are especially important for ACT prep from 8th to 10th grade. ASPIRE represents an opportunity for early intervention to track and correct progress in core curriculum skills, reading, math, science, English and writing, through the pre-ACT grades. The test also provides scoring on important ELA (English Language Arts) and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) skills. It is a fully computer-based test.

With its focus on the skills tested in the ACT college entrance exam, ASPIRE is a strong tool in preparing students for a good performance on the ACT. ASPIRE aligns closely with the new Common Core State Standards across the country and aligns with already existing ACT College Readiness Benchmarks. Scores are reported as a three digit number at one of three levels: Ready, Close or In Need of Support. At grades 8-10, a single composite score is given. ACT/ASPIRE provides a parent guide to understanding Readiness Benchmark scores and test results.

Why take ASPIRE?

Generally, students who take the pre-exams to ACT (ASPIRE) or SAT (PSAT), experience significantly higher scores on their college entrance exam. These early exams provide students with a path for academic preparation and corrective action to stay on track for overall better performance in the entrance exams as well as high school and college courses. In addition, students who are familiar with the format of the test, subject matter and types of questions on the exam will likely be more at ease and work at a quicker pace on the actual college entrance exam.
