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.Source: Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test WebsiteDevelopmental Scale Score Achievement Level DefinitionsLevel 5 This student has success with the most challenging content of the Sunshine State Standards.
