About Palmetto Assessment of State Standards:

As mandated in Chapter 18, Title 59 of the 1976 Code, the Education Accountability Act was amended (May 2008) to provide for the development of a new statewide assessment program. This program, known as the Palmetto Assessment of State Standards (PASS), was first administered in the spring of 2009. The PASS is administered to South Carolina public school students, including charter school students in grades three through eight.
