Help name state test State Superintendent of Education Jim Rex announced today that South Carolinians will name the state’s new standardized testing system, which will replace PACT tests that have been administered statewide since 1999. The General Assembly voted last session to replace PACT (Palmetto Achievement Challenge Tests) while making significant changes to South Carolina’s overall student assessment and school accountability systems. Voters can visit the South Carolina Department of Education’s Web site and cast their ballots on line. The deadline to vote is Labor Day, Sept. 1, at 5 p.m., and Rex will announce the winning name on Wednesday, Sept. 3. Two weeks ago Rex asked teachers, students, parents and citizens to suggest names, and hundreds responded. The Education Department sifted through all of the suggested names and selected five “finalists” for the statewide vote: PAL — Palmetto Assessment of Learning, PASS — Palmetto Assessment of State Standards, SCYE — South Carolina Yearly Evaluation, STARS — State Test of Achievement and Readiness for Success, or STEP — State Test of Educational Progress.
