ACT WorkKeys ® Test Scores - State Level

ACT WorkKeys® Test Scores

Notes:

1) With the exception of students eligible for alternate assessments, all students in their third year of high school after their initial enrollment in the ninth grade were required to take three ACT WorkKeys tests (Applied Mathematics, Locating Information, and Reading for Information).

2) This page reports ACT National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) results from only the statewide test administration. Some students who were also tested elsewhere may have qualified for higher-level certificates than presented here. Also reported are level scores and scale scores. For additional information related to ACT WorkKeys please click here.

3) If the number tested is less than 10, no other statistics appear. Home school students were excluded from the calculations.


4) The South Carolina Department of Education is no longer using meals status to identify Students in Poverty (SIP). At this time, the values for these students are marked TBD (To Be Determined).
