How is FCAT scored?
Students will receive an essay score on a scale of 1 (lowest) to 6 (highest) for FCAT Writing. Students should receive higher scores as they move from grade-to-grade according to their increased achievement. DSS cannot be determined for FCAT Science because students are not tested on this subject at each grade level.
What score do you need to pass the writing FSA?
Earning a score in the level 3 category is considered a passing score for any of the FSA exams. Students may want to keep in mind that not passing the FSA exams might not necessarily have a bearing on whether or not they advance to the next grade level in school, as the exams act as assessment tools.
What is a developmental scale score?

With the scale score from each grade level successfully linked to those above and below it, a single scale was created.

What is the FCAT called now?
Florida Standards Assessments
As of the 2014-2015 school year FCAT was replaced in the state of Florida. The Florida Department of Education later implemented the Florida Standards Assessments (FSA) for English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics and a Writing or typing test.

When do you get your results from the FCAT?
It tests mathematics, reading, writing and science in order to improve educational standards and student improvement in classes.

Can a Grade 3 student pass the FCAT?

Where do I pick up my FCAT scores?
Pick up your FCAT scores at your school once you are notified by the school or school district of their arrival. A FCAT Parent’s Network used to exist online where parents or students could check their scores, but it was removed due to budget cuts. The only way to check FCAT scores is to wait for them to arrive at school.
