South Carolina students in grades 3–8 take SC READY in ELA and math, and science in grades 4 and 6. High school students take End-of-Course exams in four courses. All tests are online.
High school: In grade 10, the state funds one PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10 or PreACT per student; in grade 11, students may choose the SAT, ACT or CLT, and take the South Carolina Career Ready Test (WIN Work Ready assessments).
K–2: South Carolina has no K–2 summative test; the state-required Kindergarten Readiness Assessment is given by the 45th day, and districts use universal reading screeners.

Every workbook in the series, plus 10,000+ resources
Every test prep workbook is included — print it or play it. One membership covers your whole year: test prep in the spring, everything else all year long.
Every test prep workbook — Printable PDF + Interactive
No. Our workbooks are independent practice resources with original questions. They're aligned to each state's published test design, but they are not official test materials and aren't affiliated with any state or test publisher.
How do I know a workbook matches this year's test?
Each state page shows the date we last checked the state's official sources. We re-check every state each summer and update the workbooks whose test changed.
Can I use a workbook with my whole class?
Yes. A purchase covers one teacher and their own students. To share with every teacher in a school, choose the School License.
What’s the difference between the editions?
The Printable PDF prints for your class. The Interactive Workbook is the same workbook online — self-checking, with read-aloud, on interactive whiteboards, touch panels, Chromebooks and tablets. The Bundle gives you both. The School License covers both for one school. Paperbacks are sold on Amazon once each one is available. Members get the Printable PDF and the Interactive Workbook of every workbook.
