This fact sheet provides an overview of the FAST system for grades 3–10 ELA Reading and grades 3–8 Mathematics.  \nGrades 3–10 FAST Overview  \n• Grades 3–10 FAST ELA Reading and grades 3–8 FAST Mathematics assessments are aligned to the Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking (B. E.S.T. ) Standards.  \n• FAST assessments are computer adaptive. Each item a student receives will be selected to meet blueprint requirements and will adjust item difficulty levels based on how the student responds.  \n• FAST assessments are administered three times during each school year: once at the beginning of the year (PM1), once in the middle of the year (PM2), and once at the end of the year (PM3) .  \n• Each PM event is tied to a blueprint for the full grade-level content. The ELA and Mathematics blueprints show how many items in each reporting category students will encounter during each PM window.  \n• Here are descriptions of each PM opportunity for students:  \no PM1 – because this administration occurs at the very beginning of the school year, it is designed to provide a baseline score so teachers can track student progress in learning the B.E.S.T. Standards from PM1 to PM2 .  \no PM2 – by the time of this administration window, students will have had an opportunity to learn the grade-level standards, and this administration will provide a mid-year score to compare to the baseline score from PM1 .  \no PM3 – this last administration will provide a summative score that will accurately measure student mastery of the B. E.S.T. Standards at the end of the school year. While PM1 and PM2 are for informational purposes only, PM3 is used for school accountability.  \nAdministration Windows  \nThe following windows have been established to provide schools with maximum scheduling flexibility; they do not reflect the amount of time one school will spend administering tests.  \n• PM1: August 12–September 27, 2024  \n• PM2: December 2, 2024–January 24, 2025  \n• PM3: May 1–May 30, 2025  \nFor a full schedule of Florida’s statewide assessments, see the 2024–2025 Statewide Assessment Schedule.  \nSession Lengths  \nAll FAST assessments are administered in one session in one day, and it is recommended that students only take one subject test per day.  \n\n| Grades/Subject | PM1 and PM2 | PM3 |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Grades 3–10 ELA Reading | 90 Minutes | 120 Minutes |\n| Grades 3–5 Mathematics | 80 Minutes | 100 Minutes |\n| Grades 6–8 Mathematics | 100 Minutes | 120 Minutes |\n\nNote: The PM3 administration is slightly longer than PM1 and PM2 because the assessments contain embedded field test items.  \nThe Bureau of K–12 Student Assessment provides scheduling guidance in the test administration manual and scripts. For scheduling purposes, a session length is provided, but students who are still working at the end of that time may be provided the time needed to complete the test, up to the end of the school day.  \nTesting Systems  \nAll grades 3–10 FAST assessments will be administered and reported using the following systems:  \n\n| Testing System | Use |\n| --- | --- |\n| Test Information Distribution Engine (TIDE) | Online Management/Student Data |\n| Test Delivery System (TDS) with Secure Browser | Online Test Delivery |\n| Florida Reporting System (FRS) | Results Reporting |\n| Family Portal | Results for Parents |\n\nFAST Mathematics  \nPlease note the following information specific to FAST Mathematics:  \n• Students must be provided with blank scratch paper for all FAST Mathematics tests.  \n• Students will access and use the calculator provided in the student ","cbCainHin8qJZ1Rn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainHin8qJZ1Rn","pdf",310678,"English","# FAST Overview\n## FAST administration schedule (PM1, PM2, PM3)\n## Session lengths and testing recommendations\n# Testing Systems\n## Online management, delivery, and reporting\n# FAST Mathematics\n## Calculator, reference sheets, and scratch paper\n# FAST Reporting\n## Achievement levels and score ranges","[{\"question\":\"What grades and subjects does the FAST 2024–25 fact sheet cover?\",\"answer\":\"It covers ELA Reading for grades 3–10 and Mathematics for grades 3–8 under the FAST system.\"},{\"question\":\"How often are FAST assessments administered during the school year?\",\"answer\":\"FAST assessments are administered three times: PM1 at the beginning of the year, PM2 in the middle, and PM3 at the end.\"},{\"question\":\"What systems and supports are used for FAST testing and results?\",\"answer\":\"FAST uses TIDE for online management/student data, TDS with Secure Browser for online delivery, FRS for results reporting, and the Family Portal for results to parents.
