The Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) is part of Florida's overall plan to increase student achievement by implementing higher standards. The FCAT, administered to students in Grades 3-11, contains two basic components: criterion-referenced tests (CRT), measuring selected benchmarks in Mathematics, Reading, Science, and Writing from the Sunshine State Standards (SSS); and norm-referenced tests (NRT) in Reading and Mathematics, measuring individual student performance against national norms.

The FCAT Released Tests in reading, mathematics, and science should be used to increase the comfort level of students and parents with the FCAT, enabling students to take the FCAT with confidence. Students, parents, and teachers should use the released tests to better understand the FCAT and the types of reading passages and questions included on the test. The released tests can also be used to illustrate the length of an actual test and the difficulty of the questions on the test.
