  Earlier this month, East Mountain High School mailed home ACT Aspire scores to freshmen and sophomore students. These college-preparatory tests were given to students in September 2014. The ACT Aspire replaces the ACT Explore and PLAN, which were previously used for preparing students to take the official ACT during their junior and senior years. To help parents and students understand the new ACT Aspire test and scoring system, the ACT has created a publication called "Understanding Your ACT Aspire Results."
