[Okepas] OK EPAS EXPLORE / PLAN Scholars

[Brown, Cynthia (OSRHE)]

I hope this note finds you well and not yet too stressed over the challenges that face you in the coming weeks.

I've had a few calls and emails about the OK EPAS Scholars Certificates. I'm sad to say that those are no longer available. As you know, ACT are no longer offering the EXPLORE and PLAN assessments. We were able to provide some assessments this year but could not afford to purchase the data file for the Scholars Certificates.

You certainly may choose to honor the students. The program was based on the ACT research which established the EXPLORE, PLAN and ACT benchmarks which predict college readiness. I have included that information here:





EXPLORE


PLAN


ACT





English

18





Mathematics


17


19


22





Reading


16

Science Reasoning


18


20


23





I should also take a moment to explain that there was other research that was done to identify what EXPLORE and PLAN scores predict a score of 19 on the ACT. That chart is below.

As always, thanks for the vital work you do with Oklahoma's young people. You can be among the most important influences in a student's life.

Thanks,
Cindy
