Preparing for Assessments

South Carolina uses the SC READY assessment to measure student achievement. While Social Studies is not always a standalone SC READY subject at every grade, the skills developed in 8th grade Social Studies — reading comprehension, critical thinking, and analysis — support success across all tested areas. StudyPug's practice exercises help students strengthen these skills throughout the year.
