Parent(s) and Students,
The Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) is a progress-monitoring tool that will be administered three times per year to track your student’s progress in learning the Benchmarks of Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.) Standards throughout this school year. The first administration (PM1) of the Grade6-8th Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) Reading and Mathematics assessments schedule is detailed below. Please be on time next week for assigned testing day. Student’s results from PM1 are for informational purposes only, and your student’s school will provide you with information about how to access the results after testing is completed.
• 6th Grade Reading- Tuesday, September 6th
• 6th Grade Mathematics- Wednesday, September 7th
• 7th/8th Grade Reading- Thursday, September 8th
• 7th/8th Grade Mathematics- Friday, September 9th
FAST assessments are computer-adaptive tests taken on a computer or tablet. The questions get easier or more difficult depending on how the student responds, and each student will see different questions from a common item bank. Each test attempt (PM1, PM2, and PM3) will present 35–40 items that will cover the entire test “blueprint,” meaning students will encounter items representative of the standards within the subject or grade level. For more information on the test design, please visit https://www.fldoe.org/accountability/assessments/k-12-student-assessment/best/. If you or your student would like to interact with the online testing platform or review FAST Reading and Mathematics sample items at home, sample test materials are available at https://flfast.org/families.html.
