SC READY Grade 8 Math Practice

Grade 8 timing and tools

Online SC READY testing occurs during the final 20 school days of each district's instructional calendar. The district selects its own window, so there is no single statewide calendar date for every family.

The first section is non-calculator; the second permits scientific and graphing calculators. TestByState currently provides scientific capabilities and documents graphing parity as a limitation.
