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.
