Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT), Spring
2005 |
|
Data
as of May 19, 2005 |
|
The
Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) is a
new student achievement test administered to
students in Florida's public schools. The test is
designed to measure specific Sunshine State
Standards benchmarks in reading and mathematics for
grades 3 through 10. FCAT Reading assesses content
from two areas: (a) Constructs Meaning from
Information Text and (b) Constructs Meaning from
Literature. FCAT Mathematics assesses content from
five areas: (a) Number Sense, Concepts and
Operations, (b) Measurement, (c) Geometry and
Spatial Sense, (d) Algebraic Thinking, and (e) Data
Analysis and Probability. Students' test scores are
measured on a scoring range from 100 to 500 and
grouped into five achievement levels: Level 1
(lowest) to Level 5 (highest). Each subscore (shown
below) represents the percentage of content in that
area to which students responded correctly. For
additional information on student assessment, please
