Testing Information 

Dear Parents/Guardians: 

Many of our students will be taking the computer-based FCAT 2.0 Reading test 

and state EOC assessments in the next two months. Your student has had an 

opportunity to participate in a practice test to become familiar with the software, 

item types, and online tools he or she will encounter and use during testing. If you or 

your student would like to review the CBT practice test at home, you can download instructions and a practice test 

(called an “ePAT”) at www.FLAssessments.com/ePAT. Your student may practice as often as necessary prior to 

testing. You may also view Student Tutorials at www.FLAssessments.com/StudentTutorials. 

Please review the following policies with your student before testing: 

Electronic Devices – If your student is found with ANY electronic devices, including but not limited to cell 

phones and smart phones, at any time during testing OR during breaks (e.g., restroom, lunch), his or her test 

will be invalidated, which means it will not be scored. The best practice is for students to leave devices at 

home or in their lockers on the day of testing. 

Testing Rules Acknowledgment – All FCAT and EOC assessments include a Testing Rules Acknowledgment 

that reads, “I understand the testing rules that were just read to me. If I do not follow these rules, my test score 

may be invalidated.” Prior to testing, test administrators will read the rules to students, and students must 

acknowledge that they understand the testing rules by clicking a box or circle next to the statement. 

Discussing Test Contest after Testing – The last portion of the testing rules read to students before they 

affirm the acknowledgment states, “After the test, you may not discuss the test items with anyone. This 

includes any type of electronic communication, such as texting, emailing, or posting to blogs or websites like 

Facebook or Twitter.” If students are found sharing information about test items, even without the intent to 

cheat, their tests will be invalidated. 

Test Invalidations – Students are responsible for doing their own work on the test and for protecting their 

answers from being seen by others. If students are caught cheating during testing, their tests will be 

invalidated. The FDOE employs a test security company, Caveon Test Security, to analyze student test results 

to detect unusually similar answer patterns. Student results within a school that are found to have extremely 

similar answer patterns will be invalidated. 

Leaving Campus – If your student leaves campus before completing the test (for lunch, an appointment, or 

illness, etc.), he or she WILL NOT be allowed to complete the test. If your student does not feel well on the day 

of testing, it may be best for him or her to wait and be tested on a make-up day. Please remember not to 

schedule appointments on testing days. 

If you have any questions related to this test administration, you may contact our testing coordinator, Ms. Keck, at 

(850) 833-3614, ext. 4634. For more information about the statewide assessment program and assessment graduation 

requirements, visit the FDOE website at http://fcat.fldoe.org/. Thank you for supporting your student as he or she 

prepares for testing.

Pensacola State College, and University of West Florida.)

Writing. An additional fee of $23.00 applies to late registrations. Additional fees

location. (Choctawhatchee High School is a testing location for ACT for the following
