Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT), Spring 2007

Data as of June 10, 2008
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.
