How will students benefit from BESTS?
• Registered BESTS students become members of the Belin-Blank Center. • Taking the EXPLORE, ACT, or SAT enables students to demonstrate academic strengths by taking an academically challenging test that is not typically available to them at their grade level. • Above-level testing information may be used to determine appropriate curriculum modifications and programming. • Outstanding individual scorers will be recognized in a formal recognition ceremony at The University of Iowa. • All BESTS students are eligible to participate in Belin-Blank Center and HATS (Florida) precollege programs.
