  2. Guide to the FCAT 2.0 • What is the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) 2.0? • The FCAT is a test given to Florida students to measure what they know and are able to accomplish in reading, writing and mathematics. The test is part of the Florida’s plan to improve the teaching and learning of higher educational standards. • Who takes the FCAT 2.0? • All public school students in Grades 3 through 11 are required to take the FCAT. The tests are given only in public schools, though private school students who receive opportunity scholarships must also take the FCAT. Home education students are tested only if their parents select the FCAT evaluation option.

The test helps teachers, principals, and superintendents determine the level of success students have with the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards. • The purpose of the FCAT 2.0 criterion-referenced test (CRT), is to assess student achievement of the high-order thinking skills represented in the Sunshine State Standards (SSS) and the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) for Reading, Writing, Mathematics, and Science.
