What is the FCAT?
The Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) is a standard-referenced assessment. The results provide a snapshot of where students stand, not in relation to each other, but in relation to their ability to reach educational standards that Floridians expect. These expectations are outlined in the Sunshine State Standards.
Who Takes the FCAT?
Students take the FCAT reading tests in grades 4, 8 and 10, and the mathematics in grades 5, 8 and 10. The FCAT is a timed test which spans over two days at the fourth grade.
Four Things To Know About FCAT
FCAT is included in the School Accountability Report that is used to identify critically low performing schools as well as high performing schools.
FCAT is used for promotion and graduation purposes at the elementary, middle, and high school levels.
FCAT is used to identify students in need of remediation in reading and math, to obtain feedback on curriculum and teaching strategies, and to gauge student progress.
FCAT has replaced the High School Competency Test (HSCT) and the common college placement test.
Contents of FCAT Reading Tests
67 reading passages
4045 multiple-choice questions
68 short response performance tasks
23 extended response performance tasks
Benchmarks are the standards for which FCAT items and performance tasks are developed. These test items and performance tasks are developed with the intent of instilling the thinking and problem-solving abilities envisioned by Standard 4 of Goal 3.
