SC READY (South Carolina College and Career Ready Assessments) is South Carolina's primary statewide assessment for English Language Arts and Mathematics in grades 3-8. Science is assessed separately through SCPASS (South Carolina Palmetto Assessment of State Standards) at select grades. Together, these assessments measure student mastery of the South Carolina College and Career-Ready Standards. SC READY replaced the former PASS test and is administered during the last 20 instructional days of the school year.
2026 SC READY/SCPASS Window: Tests are administered during the last 20 instructional days of the school year, typically late May through early June. SC READY covers ELA and Math (grades 3-8). SCPASS covers Science (grades 4 and 6 — note: grade 8 science is suspended for 2025-2026).
| Grade | Subjects Tested |
|---|---|
| Grade 3 | ELA and Mathematics (SC READY) |
| Grade 4 | ELA, Mathematics (SC READY), and Science (SCPASS) |
| Grade 5 | ELA and Mathematics (SC READY) |
| Grade 6 | ELA, Mathematics (SC READY), and Science (SCPASS) |
| Grade 7 | ELA and Mathematics (SC READY) |
| Grade 8 | ELA and Mathematics (SC READY) — Science suspended for 2025-2026 |
South Carolina uses the following performance levels. 'Meets Expectations' is the state proficiency target. This means your child demonstrates solid mastery of grade-level standards. 'Exceeds Expectations' indicates advanced performance. If your child falls below 'Meets,' their school should provide additional academic support.
Student demonstrates minimal understanding of grade-level standards and needs significant academic intervention.
Student demonstrates partial understanding but needs additional support to reach grade-level proficiency.
Student demonstrates proficient understanding of the South Carolina College and Career-Ready Standards at grade level.
Student demonstrates advanced understanding and can apply knowledge in complex situations beyond grade-level expectations.
South Carolina uses two separate tests: SC READY for ELA and Mathematics, and SCPASS for Science (and formerly Social Studies). This means your child may have different testing days for different subjects. The dual-test structure is unique to South Carolina.
Testing occurs during the final 20 instructional days of the school year — one of the latest testing windows in the country. This ensures the entire curriculum is taught before students are assessed, but also means the year's final weeks are critical.
SC READY and SCPASS are administered online with embedded tools including calculators (where permitted), text-to-speech for accommodations, and answer eliminators. Students interact with multiple question types including selected response, constructed response, and technology-enhanced items.
For the 2025-2026 school year, grade 8 SCPASS Science is suspended. This means grade 8 students will only take SC READY (ELA and Math). The suspension is related to standards transition — South Carolina is updating its science standards and the assessment needs to be realigned.
The most notable change for 2025-2026 is the suspension of grade 8 SCPASS Science, related to South Carolina's ongoing standards revision. Social studies testing (SCPASS Social Studies) was also discontinued in recent years. The state continues to refine its College and Career-Ready Standards, and SC READY item types have been updated to include more technology-enhanced questions requiring deeper thinking.
South Carolina uses two separate test brands — SC READY for ELA/Math and SCPASS for Science — rather than a single unified assessment. This dual structure is distinctive among state testing programs.
The testing window falls during the last 20 instructional days of the year, one of the latest in the nation. Students are assessed on the full year's curriculum.
Grade 8 science is suspended for 2025-2026 due to standards realignment. This is temporary but means current 8th graders will not take a state science test this year.
South Carolina's standards emphasize 'college and career readiness' explicitly in their name and design, with performance tasks that assess real-world application of knowledge.
The Lowcountry and Gullah-Geechee cultural heritage provides rich context for South Carolina-specific reading passages and social studies content that students encounter on the assessment.
Your child takes TWO different tests: SC READY (ELA + Math) and SCPASS (Science at grades 4 and 6). These may be on different days. Check with your school for the specific schedule.
Testing happens in the last 20 days of school — don't let your child check out early. The final weeks of the school year ARE the testing window. Keep attendance strong and study routines active through the end.
If your child is in grade 8, there is NO state science test this year (2025-2026) due to standards transition. Focus grade 8 prep on ELA and Math only.
The 'Meets Expectations' level is the target. If your child scored 'Approaches' or 'Does Not Meet' last year, ask the school about intervention programs and summer learning opportunities.
Use the free practice tests available through the SC Department of Education. They mirror the real test format including technology-enhanced questions. Familiarity with the digital interface reduces test-day anxiety significantly.
The SC READY is South Carolina's standardized assessment for grades 3-8. Students are tested in Math and English/RLA every year, and Science in grades 5 and 8.
