How to Prepare for the FCAT Online

In Florida, a student must earn a passing grade on the Florida's Comprehensive Assessment Test to progress to the next grade. Schools in Florida give the FCAT to students from grade three to grade eleven to test students' knowledge and abilities in math, science, reading and writing. Students can prepare for the test by excelling in the subjects covered in the test and practicing test questions so they become familiar with the structure of the test. Reviewing and practicing with old tests can help students achieve that objective. The Florida Board of Education has an FCAT Explorer website that can help students prepare for the FCAT.
