The South Carolina Basic Skills Assessment Program (BSAP) was established by South Carolina legislation enacted in 1978. This report describes BSAP implementation and test results for 1984-85 as prescribed in the legislation. As the schedule for this academic year required, the Cognitive Skills Assessment Battery (CSAB) was administered to all 50,722 students entering first grade. Of these, 72.4 percent were classified as ready to begin formal instruction. To measure the educational objectives set by the program, criterion-referenced tests in reading and mathematics were administered to grades 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, and 11; writing tests were administered to grades 6, 8, and 11. A total of 268,471 students were tested. Compared to previous years, the test results showed an overall improvement in 1984-1985. The monitoring process by the State Department of Education, instructional activities, and the activities and recommendations of the Basic Skills Advisory Commission are also reported. The appendices include: (A) basic skills resource materials; (B) a list of the members of the kindergarten committee; (C) the percent of students classified as ready for first grade work, from 1979-1984, in each district; (D) 1985 BSAP item response summary for all students in reading and mathematics; (E) 1985 BSAP test results for all students; (F) 1985 BSAP test and objective results for all students by sub-population; (G) BSAP test results by district, 1981-1985; (H) basic skills mathematics, reading, and writing committees; and (I) the membership of the Basic Skills Advisory Committee.
