The South Carolina College and Career-Ready Assessments (SC READY) are statewide assessments in English language arts (ELA), mathematics, and science. SC READY ELA and math are administered to all students in grades 3-8, while science is administered to all students in grades 4 and 6. This spring, students in grades 3-8 will also be administered an ELA Text-Dependent Writing (TDW) field test. Students and schools will not receive results from the ELA TDW field test.
Per SC law, students are required to participate in testing and the students' scores will count in the schools' and district's accountability calculations. Please refrain from scheduling appointments on test dates. Students are required to test on-site at their brick-and-mortar schools of enrollment on the following dates.

The tests will be administered online, so students should bring their charged, school-issued device on each test day. Students are expected to refrain from bringing any electronic device that can be used for communicating, timing, or imaging (e.g., cell phone, smart watch) into the testing location. Electronic devices will be collected by the test administrator before testing and returned after each test session is completed.
Students can access the Online Testing Video Tutorials and the Online Tools Training (OTT) modules to become familiar with the online testing system. Although the OTT looks like a real test, there is no score, there is no time limit, and students may use it as many times as they want. The video tutorials and OTT are accessible at DRC INSIGHT Online Assessment Tutorial and Online Tools Training (use the Google Chrome browser on a Chromebook or Windows device) - click on the DRC INSIGHT Online Assessment Tutorial and the SC READY Online Tools Training icons on the lower part of the screen. To learn more about the SC READY assessments, please visit the SC Department of Education's website: SC READY page and SC READY Information for Parents - South Carolina Department of Education.
