Tests for Higher Standards
in South Carolina

Grade-Level Tests

Grade-Level Tests (sometimes used as pre/post tests) for Grades K-8 in Mathematics, Science, History/Social Studies, and Reading/English/Language Arts are aligned specifically and uniquely to the South Carolina Academic Standards. For high school, we have end-of-course tests for Early Algebra, English, Physical Science, Biology, and United States History and the Constitution. A classroom management system with a class matrix, answer key, and student response sheet is included for each grade and subject. These instructional materials give specific and systematic assessment at each grade level. All of the materials were modeled after Flanagan's materials that are in 80% of Virginia districts. We have found the Virginia Standards of Learning compare favorably with South Carolina Academic Standards. Hence, we believe our experience should be quite beneficial to South Carolina educators. Our materials meet EMSAP and end-of-course specifications. At this time, many districts and schools throughout South Carolina are presently utilizing our products which are formatted like the SC high stakes tests.

Mini Tests

Mini Tests in Mathematics, Science, History/Social Studies, and Reading/English/Language Arts grades are complete for each grade including high school. These materials allow for ongoing or periodic teacher evaluation of student performance. Each grade level strand and standard is evaluated individually and in depth. Many districts use these tests as benchmarks. There is a built in system for teachers to generate their own classroom, school, or district level tests.

HSAP Exit Exam

TfHS has produced HSAP Exit Exams consistent with South Carolina's information on Mathematics and Reading/English/Language Arts. These tests are similar to our Grade-Level Tests for each grade level and include a classroom management system with a class matrix, answer keys, individual student response forms, etc. Our HSAP in Mathematics reflects the Quick Reference Guide as posted on the SC DOE website. Our English HSAP is built around the SC English Academic standards and is also current.
