Gifted and Talented (state identification)

Grades 2-12

South Carolina gives every second grader the CogAT and the Iowa Assessments as universal screeners. Students qualify by meeting two of three dimensions (aptitude, achievement, performance). Districts can use other approved tests for students in grades 3-12 not identified through the screeners.
