The Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) is part of Florida's effort to improve the teaching and learning of higher educational standards. The primary purpose of the FCAT is to assess student achievement of the high-order cognitive skills represented in the Sunshine State Standards (SSS) in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics. The SSS portion of FCAT is a criterion-referenced test. A secondary purpose is to compare the performance of Florida students to the performance of students across the nation using a norm-referenced test. All students in Grades 3-10 take the FCAT in the spring of each year.
