FCAT Parent Letter

Rickards’ students will be taking the FCAT 2.0 Reading during April 15 – 26. Tenth grade will take the exam during April 15 – 19 and Ninth grade will take the exam during April 22- 26. Your student will take the test for two days in the morning. Your student should know which days they test by now. If not, they should ask their 1st period teacher. This is a computer-based test (CBT), and your student has had an opportunity to participate in a practice test to become familiar with the software, item types, and online tools he/she will encounter and use during testing. Some students with an IEP will take the test using a paper/pencil format. If you or your student would like to review the CBT practice test at home, you can download instructions and a practice test (called an “ePAT”) at www.FLAssessments.com/ePAT. Your student may practice as often as he or she likes prior to testing. Please be sure to review the following policies before testing: ¦ Electronic Devices—If your student is found with ANY electronic devices, including, but not limited to cell phones and smart phones, during testing, including bathroom breaks, his or her test will be invalidated. The best practice is for students to leave devices at home or in their lockers on the day of testing. ¦ Testing Rules Acknowledgment—All FCAT 2.0 tests include a Testing Rules Acknowledgment that reads, “I understand the testing rules that were just read to me. If I do not follow these rules, my test score may be invalidated.” Prior to testing, test administrators will read the rules to students, and students must acknowledge that they understand the testing rules by checking a box next to the statement. ¦ Test Invalidations—Students are responsible for working on their own during the test and for protecting their answers from being seen by others. If students are caught cheating during testing, their tests will be invalidated. In addition, the FDOE employs a test security company, Caveon Test Security, to analyze student test results to detect unusually similar answer patterns. ¦ Leaving Campus—If your student leaves campus before completing the test (e.g., for an appointment), he or she WILL NOT be allowed to complete the test. If your student does not feel well on the day of testing, it may be best for him or her to wait and be tested on a make-up day. Please also be mindful to not schedule appointments on testing days. If you have any questions related to this test administration, you may contact Rickards High School. For more information about the statewide assessment program, visit the FDOE website at http://fcat.fldoe.org/. Thank you for supporting your student as he/she prepares for testing.
