FCAT Explorer

This is a free site offered by the Department of Education.  It offers practice tests as well as mini lessons in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade Reading and Math.  A new section has been added to offer practice and helpful lessons with 5th grade Science.  As soon as they become available, your child will be assigned a log-in and password to access these great resources!  Look for this information to be placed on a sticker on the inside cover of your child's planner/agenda (sometime in mid-August).

Florida's Continuous Improvement Model

This is FOCUS, a Florida Department of Education Web site that is an extension of FCAT Explorer.com.  This site offers practice tests and mini lessons that focus on the reading and math questions that your child will face full-on during the real FCAT test.

Florida Comprehensive Achievement Test Released Items

Here you can see actual past FCAT tests.  This site offers a view of the real deal.  Not only will your kids get a chance to see the mind-bending complexities of an actual test, but parents can get a tighter grip on what is expected of their children.  If you don't want to test your kids, try one yourself.  These tests are in .pdf format and can be printed for your use.

Get Smarter.org

Get Smarter.org is a great site for your child to participate in activities and quizzes in the subjects of Math and Science.  These offer a view of how well your child should and can perform on a real paper and pencil test.  Each item your child attempts offers immediate feedback and mini-lessons to assist your child.  As the site says, they are not intended as precise tests of student knowledge or ability; and therefore, they should not be used as such. Get Smarter.org is intended to provide practice and guidance in given subject areas. It helps students, parents and teachers see how well students are performing compared to other students around the world.
