Grades: 3-8 Florida Comprehensive Achievement Test (FCAT)  

Our Test Prep program is designed to help students understand what they will
be expected to know on the achievement test of state standards.

• Our program provides practice activities that are grouped by state standards. When one group of state standards is completed, the student takes a Mini-Test.
• After an entire set of standards and the accompanying activities are
  completed, the student takes a Final Test.
• The Final Test has a separate answer sheet that mimics the style of the
  answer sheet the students will use on the state tests.

The Test Prep program is designed to help students identify areas in which
they are proficient and areas where they still need more practice. This
program helps relieve test anxiety and raises test scores.

Grade: 10     Florida Comprehensive Achievement Test (FCAT)

Our Test Prep program contains a pretest and a post-test that mirror the format of the actual Florida Comprehensive Achievement Test (FCAT). Diagnostic correlation charts determine student strengths and weaknesses and reference the lessons targeted for remediation. Test Prep is available for reading and math. The reading lessons are presented in a three-step format that helps build student endurance. In step one, students are presented an instructional lesson, along with two sample questions. This instructional lesson uses shorter, lower-level reading passages. Step two is written at a slightly higher reading level and provides longer reading passages with less instruction and more practice. The final step provides a full-length passage and questions that reinforce the standards addressed in the lesson.

The final step provides a full-length passage and questions that reinforce the standards addressed in the lesson.
• Mathematics also uses a three-step lesson format. Step one provides modeled instruction on sample problems. Students are provided instruction on how to work two to four practice problems in step two. The final step contains formatted practice problems for the students.

Because each pretest and posttest mirrors the format of the actual test, students will become familiar and comfortable with the test format, which helps relieve test anxiety and raise test scores.
