What Do My Scores Mean?
Your scores are between 1 (the lowest score you can receive) and 25 (the highest score you can receive) even though you answered a lot more than 25 questions on the EXPLORE test!
Your Composite Score is simply the average of your test scores in English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science (rounded to a whole number).
The two scores directly under English tell you how well you did in these two areas of English:
- Usage/Mechanics—punctuation, grammar and usage, and sentence structure
- Rhetorical Skills—your understanding of the use of strategy, organization, and style in writing
These scores only range from 1 to 12. Added together they do NOT necessarily equal your English Test score.
