FAST Reading & Math
The FAST Reading and Math exams are given three times during the school year for progress monitoring purposes. All students must participate in PM1, PM2 and PM3 (These are the three Progress Monitoring testing window names). This test is computer based and adaptive.
- These practice tests are only for the purposes of becoming familiar with the testing platform.
- Students will not get feedback or scores for the practice test.
Concordant Scores
There are 2 exams that you need to pass in order to graduate:
- Grade 10 FAST ELA
- BEST Algebra 1 EOC
If you did not pass these exams, the state has allowed you to use various other exams as concordant scores for graduation.
To see the full information on this, you can view the Concordant and Comparative Scores File from the Florida Department of Education Website by clicking here.
