FCAT Released Tests & Questions
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.
