Give your fourth grader the confidence to succeed on the South Carolina College- and Career-Ready (SC READY) Mathematics assessment.
This book contains five full-length practice tests (300 questions total) aligned to the South Carolina College- and Career-Ready Standards for Mathematics and designed to match the format, difficulty, and content of the real Grade 4 SC READY exam. (This includes the extra field-test questions that appear on the actual SC READY exam, so each practice test mirrors the true item count and helps your child build real-world test “endurance” for the full sitting.)
What’s inside
- 5 complete 60-question practice tests
- Two-part format that mirrors test day: Part A (Questions 1:30) and Part B (Questions 31:60), with no calculator permitted on either part
- Detailed answer explanations for every question: not just the correct letter, but step-by-step reasoning that builds real understanding
- A Grade 4 Mathematics Reference Sheet included with every test, just like on test day
- A parent letter with test-taking tips and a study plan
- A quick-reference answer key for fast scoring
How to use this book: Take one test at a time under realistic conditions (about 120 minutes in a quiet space, no calculator). Score the test with the quick answer key, then review every explanation: even for questions answered correctly. Space the five tests over several weeks for the best results.
