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 $\dfrac{1}{2} - \dfrac{1}{5}$ ?

LCD is 10: $\dfrac{5}{10} - \dfrac{2}{10} = \dfrac{3}{10}$ .

Practice playeasy

What is $10^{3}$ ?

$10^{3}$ means $1$ followed by $3$ zeros, so $10^{3} = 1000$ .

Practice playeasy

What is $\dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{3}{4}$ ?

LCD is 4: $\dfrac{2}{4} + \dfrac{3}{4} = \dfrac{5}{4}$ .

Practice playeasy

What is $8 \times 10^{3}$ ?

Multiplying by $10^{3}$ appends $3$ zeros to the whole number: $8 \times 10^{3} = 8000$ .

Practice playeasy

What is $\dfrac{6}{8} - \dfrac{1}{3}$ ?

LCD is 24: $\dfrac{18}{24} - \dfrac{8}{24} = \dfrac{5}{12}$ .

Practice playeasy

What is $10^{4}$ ?

$10^{4}$ means $1$ followed by $4$ zeros, so $10^{4} = 10000$ .

Practice playeasy

What is $\dfrac{2}{6} + \dfrac{1}{6}$ ?

$\dfrac{2}{6} + \dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{1}{2}$ .

Practice playeasy

What is $4 \times 10^{2}$ ?

Multiplying by $10^{2}$ appends $2$ zeros to the whole number: $4 \times 10^{2} = 400$ .
