How should the released tests be used?
The released tests should be used to increase the comfort level of students and parents with the FCAT, enabling students to take tests 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. Additionally, the released tests can be used to provide a realistic, test-like experience prior to actually taking a real test.
