About the SC READY Math Grade 5 Exam
The South Carolina College- and Career-Ready Assessments (SC READY) in Mathematics evaluate Grade 5 students on statewide academic standards. The assessment measures proficiency in operations with decimals and fractions, algebraic expressions, volume calculation, measurement conversions, and coordinate geometry.
Exam sponsor: South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE); online delivery on DRC INSIGHT (Data Recognition Corporation). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.
Assessment
Fifty operational items assessing the 2025 South Carolina College- and Career-Ready Mathematics Standards: Data, Probability, and Statistical Reasoning 8-10 items; Measurement, Geometry, and Spatial Reasoning 11-14; Numerical Reasoning 9-11; Patterns, Algebra, and Functional Reasoning 17-21. Depth of Knowledge ranges are DOK 1 at 15-40%, DOK 2 at 55-85%, and DOK 3 at 0-10%.
Time Limit
Not timed. SCDE publishes an approximate 60 minutes for grades 3-5 mathematics for scheduling only. For Spring 2026 only, because of an increased number of field-test items, SC READY Mathematics grades 3-5 is administered in two sessions over two days (Math Part A and Math Part B).
Passing Score
No pass mark is set. SC READY results are reported in four performance levels: Does Not Meet Expectations, Approaches Expectations, Meets Expectations, and Exceeds Expectations.
Fees, eligibility, and exam policies can change. Confirm them with the exam sponsor before applying or paying.
