How the SC READY reports it

SC READY is South Carolina’s state assessment program and does not use a national blueprinted framework like SBAC or NAEP. Its math tests are aligned to the 2025 South Carolina College- and Career-Ready Mathematics Standards and organized into state-specific reporting categories.

Blueprint & weighting

The blueprint publishes approximate item-count ranges by reporting category, not percentages. Grade 3: DPSR 7-10, MGSR 15-18, NR 15-18, PAFR 9-13; Grade 4: DPSR 7-9, MGSR 12-15, NR 12-15, PAFR 15-19; Grade 5: DPSR 8-10, MGSR 11-14, NR 9-11, PAFR 17-21; Grade 6: DPSR 9-11, MGSR 11-14, NR 7-9, PAFR 18-21; Grade 7: DPSR 11-14, MGSR 13-17, NR 6-8, PAFR 14-18; Grade 8: DPSR 8-10, MGSR 15-19, NR 7-9, PAFR 14-18. All grades are 50 operational items, with additional field-test items; DOK ranges are 15-40% level 1, 55-85% level 2, and 0-10% level 3.

What is the probability of drawing an Ace from a deck? Give a simplified fraction.

$P = \dfrac{\text{favorable}}{\text{total}} = \dfrac{4}{52} = \dfrac{1}{13}$ .

A bar graph shows: Apples = 10, Pears = 7, Plums = 3. How many in all?

Add the bars: $10 + 7 + 3 = 20$ .

A clinic recorded customer wait times, in minutes, for $16$ visits. The frequency table shows the results.
$\begin{array}{c|c} \text{Wait time (min)} & \text{Number of customers} \\ \hline 2 & 2 \\ 5 & 3 \\ 8 & 2 \\ 11 & 6 \\ 14 & 3 \end{array}$

What is the median wait time?

Expand to $16$ wait times: $2, 2, 5, 5, 5, 8, 8, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 14, 14, 14$ . The $8$ th and $9$ th values are both $11$ , so the median is $11$ minutes.

A student logs five daily page counts: $20$ , $25$ , $30$ , $35$ , and $40$ . A sixth day with $45$ pages read is added to the data set. How does this affect the mean?

The mean of the original five counts is $\dfrac{20+25+30+35+40}{5}=30$ pages. Because $45>30$ , adding $45$ pulls the mean up.

The practice times, in minutes, for five days are $18\textsf{,}$ $22\textsf{,}$ $30\textsf{,}$ $20\textsf{,}$ and $35\textsf{.}$ What is the mean practice time?

Mean $= \dfrac{18 + 22 + 30 + 20 + 35}{5} = \dfrac{125}{5} = 25$ .

Find the mean of the data set 1, 4, 4, 7, 9.

Mean $= \dfrac{1+4+4+7+9}{5} = 5$ .

Seven game scores are $90\textsf{,}$ $70\textsf{,}$ $82\textsf{,}$ $75\textsf{,}$ $95\textsf{,}$ $60\textsf{,}$ and $88\textsf{.}$ What is the median score?

In order, the values are $60\textsf{,}$ $70\textsf{,}$ $75\textsf{,}$ $82\textsf{,}$ $88\textsf{,}$ $90\textsf{,}$ $95\textsf{.}$ The median is the middle value, $82\textsf{.}$
