Standards. Your student will participate in the third administration (PM3) of the Grade 3, 4, and 5 FAST ELA Reading and Mathematics assessments on May 5 and May 12. The results from PM3 will show how well your student has mastered the grade level content standards. You will be provided with information about how to see your student’s results after testing is completed.  \nFAST assessments are computer-adaptive tests taken on a computer or tablet. The questions get easier or more difficult depending on how your student responds, and each student will see different questions from a common item bank. Each test (PM1, PM2, and PM3) has 35–40 items that cover the test “blueprint,”meaning students will see items that measure the standards within the subject and grade level. For more information about the test design, please visit [https://www.fldoe.org/accountability/assessments/k-12-](https://www.fldoe.org/accountability/assessments/k-12-)[student-assessment/best/](student-assessment/best/.

You or your student can practice using the online testing platform or review)sample items at home at [https://flfast.org/families.html](https://flfast.org/families.html).  \nPlease review the following policies with your student before testing:  \n▪ Electronic Devices—Students are not allowed to access any electronic devices, including, but not limited to, cell phones, smart glasses, and smartwatches, at any time during testing or during breaks (e.g., restroom), even if the devices are turned off or students do not use them. Students may not wear smart glasses during statewide testing, even if they are prescription glasses. Students with prescription smart glasses will need to remove them or test another day with standard glasses. If your student is found with an electronic device or is found using Bluetooth/wireless headphones/earbuds during testing, his or her test will be invalidated (not scored) .  \n▪ Calculator Policy—For Grades 7–8 FAST Mathematics assessments, approved platform based scientific calculators may be used. For Grade 6 FAST Mathematics, an approved platform based four-function calculator may be used.  \n▪ Testing Rules Acknowledgment—All tests include a Testing Rules Acknowledgment that reads:“I understand the testing rules that were just read to me. If I do not follow these rules, my test score may be invalidated.” Prior to testing, test administrators read the rules to students, and students click a box in the test to show that they understand the testing rules.  \n▪ Discussing Test Content after Testing—The last portion of the testing rules read to students before they click the box to accept the Testing Rules Acknowledgment states that because the content of all statewide assessments is secure, students may not discuss or reveal details about the test content (including test items and passages) after the test. This includes any type of electronic communication, such as texting, emailing, or posting to social media sites. Please make sure your student understands this policy prior to testing and remind them that “discussing” test content includes any kind of electronic communication, such as texting, emailing, posting to social media, or sharing online. While students may not share information about secure test content after testing, this policy is not intended to prevent students from discussing their testing experiences with their parents/families.  \n▪ Working Independently—Students are responsible","cbCaigN8Sc9fCs46","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigN8Sc9fCs46","pdf",348024,"English","# FAST PM3 Overview\n## Test Dates and Purpose\n## How FAST Computer-Adaptive Testing Works\n# Practice and Access to Results\n# Testing Policies and Rules\n## Electronic Devices\n## Calculator Policy\n## Testing Rules Acknowledgment\n## Discussing Test Content After Testing\n## Working Independently\n## Leaving Campus and Arriving Late\n## Testing Accommodations and Irregularities\n## Extra Time","[{\"question\":\"When will Grade 3–5 students take the FAST PM3 assessments?\",\"answer\":\"Grade 3, 4, and 5 students take the PM3 assessments on May 5 and May 12 for ELA Reading and Mathematics.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the FAST computer-adaptive test decide question difficulty?\",\"answer\":\"FAST is computer-adaptive, so questions become easier or more difficult depending on student responses.
