Students will use paper testing booklets for the ELA  Day 1 and Day 2. For Math, Science, and Social Studies, students will have the test administered online.

Parents and students can access the online training tools for all four tests using the following site from the SC Department of Education by going to:  https://wbte.drcedirect.com/SC/portals/sc

Please have your child at school by 8:00AM and prepare your child for testing by:
  • Having your child get a good night's sleep.
  • Avoiding scheduling appointments for your child on testing days. We cannot guarantee when the test will end, and the tests cannot be suspended to be resumed the next day once a student starts the test.
  • Encouraging your child to take his/her time, read all of the passages and questions carefully, use the scratch paper provided, write rough drafts, work out problems, and do his/her personal best.
  • Arriving at school on-time. Students who come to school tardy may end up taking their tests in an alternate testing location or on a make-up testing day.
  • Having your child eat a light, healthy breakfast.
