COLLEGE REQUIREMENTS COLLEGE REQUIREMENTS
HIGH SCHOOL REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICANTS TO A PUBLIC SOUTH CAROLINA COLLEGE OR
UNIVERSITY
The SC Commission on Higher Education establishes college preparatory course guidelines for high school students who
will attend a public four year college or university in the state of South Carolina. Entering college freshman must complete a
college preparatory course of study. The College Preparatory Course Prerequisite Requirements are minimal requirements
for four year public college admission. Therefore, students should check early with colleges of their choice to ensure
additional requirements for admission are met. Please check with your guidance counselor and with the admissions
counselor at the college or university that you plan to attend. The following page contains the South Carolina Commission
on Higher Education prerequisites for direct enrollment for an in-state four year college or university.
Subject Requirements
FOUR UNITS OF ENGLISH
ENGLISH At least two units must have strong grammar and composition components, at least one must be in English literature, and
at least one must be in American literature. Completion of College Preparatory English 1, 2, 3 and 4 will meet this criterion.
FOUR UNITS OF MATHEMATICS
MATHEMATIC
S These include Algebra 1 CP, Algebra 2, and Geometry. A fourth higher-level mathematics course should be selected from
among Probability and Statistics, Pre-calculus, Calculus, Math Fusion, or any approved Dual Credit Mathematics (TCTC).
THREE UNITS OF LABORATORY SCIENCE
Two units must be taken in two different fields of the physical or life sciences and selected from among biology, chemistry,
or physics. The third unit may be from the same field as one of the first two units (biology, chemistry, or physics) or from
SCIENCE any laboratory science for which biology and/or chemistry is a prerequisite. Courses in earth science, general physical
science, or introductory or general environmental studies for which biology and/or chemistry is not a prerequisite will not
meet this requirement. It is strongly recommended that students take physical science (taught as a laboratory science) as a
prerequisite to the three required units of laboratory science outlines in this section. It is also strongly recommended that
students desiring to pursue careers in science, mathematics, engineering or technology take one course in all three fields.
FOREIGN
LANGUAGE
TWO UNITS OF THE SAME FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Crescent High School Course Catalog 2019-2020
THREE UNITS OF SOCIAL SCIENCE

programming content, not simply keyboarding) is strongly recommended for this elective. Other acceptable electives
ELECTIVES include college preparatory courses in English; fine arts; foreign language; social science; humanities, laboratory science
(excluding earth science, general physical science, general environmental studies, or other introductory science courses for
which biology and/or chemistry is not a prerequisite); or mathematics above the level of Algebra II.

10TAKING APPROPRIATE TEST FOR COLLEGE
TESTING AND ASSESSMENTS
TECHNICAL COLLEGE/COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Students applying to a two‐year technical college do not have to take the SAT or ACT. Instead,
students take the ACCUPLACER placement test to identify a student’s strengths and
weaknesses for work in a two‐year or college transfer program. Accuplacer measure skills in
Reading, English, and Mathematics. All juniors have the opportunity to take Accuplacer to help
gauge their “college readiness.” Students who plan to qualify for dual credit courses will be
required to take Accuplacer. Students interested in the health field should check with their
college of interest, since these programs may also require the ACT or SAT.
ACCUPLACER
The placement test administered at Tri-County is the Accuplacer test. Developed by the College
Board, the Accuplacer test is an untimed computer based placement test which measures skills
in Reading, English, and Mathematics. Even though Accuplacer is a computer-based test, very
little computer skills are necessary to complete it. Accuplacer is not a pass/fail test. Accuplacer
test scores are used to determined initial course placement levels in selected subjects.
FOUR-YEAR COLLEGE
The ACT and SAT are used by colleges and scholarship selection committees as one indicator of
a student’s potential to do college work. The ACT provides a measure of performance in English,
Mathematics, Reading, and Science. An optional writing test is required by some colleges. The
SAT is a multiple‐choice test of Critical Reading, Math and Writing. On the writing section,
students complete an essay and answer questions designed to measure ability to improve
sentences and paragraphs and identify errors.
Crescent High School Course Catalog 2019-2020
11TESTING AND ASSESSMENTS TESTING AND ASSESSMENTS
TESTING ASSESSMENTS
The following resources and tests help students, parents and schools as they team to develop and
refine Individual Graduation Plans (IGP’s). These career inventories and academic assessments
help students narrow their focus and plan a sequence of courses to prepare them for multiple op-
tions after graduation. South Carolina pays for all third year students to take either the ACT or the
SAT.
PreACT-GRADE 10
The PreACT provides students with a realistic ACT experience. This test gives students practice
with the ACT test and empowers them, their parents, and educators with valuable insights on
how they will do on the actual ACT. It gauges students and shows them, based on their answers,
where they should score when taking the ACT so that they may practice on what is needed to
achieve a higher score.
PSAT—GRADE 10
The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) measures rea-
soning and critical thinking skills, providing feedback on academic skills to help prepare for the
SAT. Additionally, the PSAT is the screening test for juniors wishing to participate in National
Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts two annual competitions for recognition
and scholarships. Sophomores and juniors are encouraged to sign up for this test, only a limited
number of slots are available. More information can be found at www.collegeboard.org and
www.nationalmerit.org
ACT—Grade 11
The ACT assesses high school students’ general educational development and their ability to com-
plete college-level work. The ACT contains multiple-choice tests in the following five areas: Eng-
lish, Mathematics, Reading, Science, and Writing.
The ACT is typically taken the junior or senior year. Please note that students who wish to receive

accommodations and have a college-reportable score, must follow all ACT guidelines and be ap-
proved by the ACT. If accommodations are not approved by the ACT, students can receive local
or state accommodations; however, the test score will not serve as a college-entrance exam.
SAT—Grade 11
Created by the College Board, the SAT is an entrance exam used by most colleges and universities
to make admissions decisions. SATs are administered about 7 times a year, with more test dates
in autumn than spring. You can receive reminders and notifications about the SAT by signing up
for notifications through the SAT website.

12TESTING AND ASSESSMENTS
TESTING AND ASSESSMENTS
ASVAB
The ASVAB consists of three main components that include a multiple-aptitude test, an interest
inventory, and a career exploration tool. The multiple-aptitude test covers eight areas including science,
world knowledge, mathematics, and mechanical comprehension. It assesses a student’s ability to learn
new skills and is a predictor of success in training and education programs. The interest inventory is
based on Holland’s theory of career choice, and the career exploration tool helps students identify
occupations that match their own interest. The ASVAB is not a recruiting function and the school
determines whether or not to release student information to the military. Students that would like to sign
up should contact administration.
WIN (READY 2 WORK CAREER READINESS ASSESSMENT)—Grade 11
Preparing students who are Career Ready is an important responsibility of Crescent High School and the
State of South Carolina. This year, 11th grade students in South Carolina will take the WIN (Worldwide
Interactive Network) Ready to Work (R2W) assessment. The SC Department of Education has defined
11th grade students as students in their third year in high school after initial enrollment in 9th grade.
The WIN Ready to Work test consists of four multiple-choice timed tests –Applied Mathematics, Reading
for Information, Locating Information, and Essential Soft Skills. The Ready to Work tests measure real
world skills that employers believe are critical to job success. Students may earn WIN’s career readiness
credential and an Essential Soft Skills credential, which is recognized by businesses and industries
nationwide.
