About the Tests

In 2006-2007 South Carolina used the Palmetto Achievement Challenge Tests (PACT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in English/language arts, math, social studies and science.
The PACT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of South Carolina.
The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
