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 $|17|$ ?

The absolute value of a non-negative number is itself: $|17| = 17$ .

On the real number line, how many integers are strictly between $-\dfrac{83}{7}$ and $\dfrac{67}{4}$ ?

Convert the bounds: $-\dfrac{83}{7} \approx -11.86$ and $\dfrac{67}{4} = 16.75$ . Strictly between means integers $n$ with $-\dfrac{83}{7} < n < \dfrac{67}{4}$ , so $n$ runs from $-11$ through $16$ , including $0$ . Count with $16 - (-11) + 1$ : subtracting endpoints gives the gap between them; the $+1$ counts both $-11$ and $16$ inclusive.

A documentary film lasts $3$ hours. How many minutes long is the film? ( $1$ hour $= 60$ minutes)

Use a conversion factor with minutes in the numerator so hours cancel: $3 \text{ hr} \times \dfrac{60 \text{ min}}{1 \text{ hr}} = 180 \text{ min}$ .

Write $0.875$ as a fraction in lowest terms.

$0.875 = \dfrac{7}{8}$ .

A park has $900$ newly planted trees. Gardeners water $10\%$ of the trees each morning. How many trees are watered each morning?

Convert $10\%$ to a decimal and multiply: $0.10 \times 900 = 90$ trees.

A science fair project runs for $3$ weeks. How many hours is that? ( $1$ week $= 7$ days and $1$ day $= 24$ hours)

Convert weeks to days, then days to hours: $3 \text{ wk} \times \dfrac{7 \text{ d}}{1 \text{ wk}} \times \dfrac{24 \text{ hr}}{1 \text{ d}} = 504 \text{ hr}$ .

Compute $|0|$ .

$0$ is its own distance from $0$ , so $|0| = 0$ .

On the real number line, how many integers are strictly between $-\dfrac{91}{5}$ and $-\dfrac{12}{4}$ ?

Convert: $-\dfrac{91}{5} = -18.2$ and $-\dfrac{12}{4} = -3$ . Integers $n$ with $-18.2 < n < -3$ are $-18, -17, \ldots, -4$ . Count with $-4 - (-18) + 1$ : subtracting endpoints gives the gap between them; the $+1$ counts both $-18$ and $-4$ inclusive.
