SC-Alternate Assessment

SC-Alt Overview

An Alternate Assessment on Alternate Achievement Standards (AA-AAS) is an assessment for students with significant cognitive disabilities who are assessed against alternate achievement standards as they are unable to participate in the general assessment program even with appropriate accommodations.

The South Carolina Alternate Assessment (SC-Alt) is an online computer-adaptive assessment that delivers all alternate assessment tests, including in ELA and Math in grades 3-8; Science in grades 4 and 6; and High School End-of-Course tests in English, Algebra, Biology, and US History and the Constitution. The SC-Alt is administered to students who meet the participation guidelines for alternate assessment.
