E.S.T. ) Standards and are administered three times per year. Students in K–2 participate in Star Early Literacy and/or Star Reading and Star Mathematics.  \nFAST is comprised of three progress monitoring (PM) windows:  \n• PM1 . This administration occurs at the beginning of the school year and provides teachers with baseline scores that allow them to track their students’ progress learning the B. E.S.T. Standards from PM1 through PM3 .  \n• PM2 . This administration provides teachers with mid-year scores to compare to their students’ baseline scores from PM1 .  \n• PM3 . This administration provides summative scores that accurately measure students’ mastery of the B. E.S.T.  \nStandards at the end of the school year.  \nInformation about VPK assessments can be found here. Information about K–2 assessments can be found in the FAST Grades K–2 Fact Sheet. The dates for each assessment window can be found in the 2025–2026 Statewide Assessment Schedule.  \nMost students, including English Language Learners (ELLs) and exceptional student education (ESE) students, enrolled in the tested grade levels or courses participate in FAST test administrations. Allowable accommodations are provided to ELL and ESE students with accommodations documented on their Individual Education Plans (IEPs) or Section 504 Plans.  \nTesting Format  \nThe FAST K–2 assessments are computer-adaptive tests (CATs) delivered in the Renaissance testing platform. Sample  items are available on the Florida Statewide Assessments Portal. For more information about Florida’s K–2 CATs, please see the FAQ.  \nPaper-based accommodated test forms are provided for students with that accommodation listed on their IEPs or Section 504 Plans. Accommodated paper-based forms include regular print, large print, braille, and one-item-per-page; computer-based accommodations include response masking, highlighter, line reader, color contrast, zoom, and extended time. For more information about accommodations available on FAST K–2 assessments, see the 2025–2026 K– 2 Progress Monitoring Statewide Assessments Accommodations Guide.  \nFlorida Assessment Scores  \nThe FAST grades K–2 Star Early Literacy, Reading, and Mathematics results are reported in Florida’s Family Portal. Also, parents may receive a printed Star Student Report from your student’s teacher.  \nThe following information is reported for the 2025–2026 school year:  \n• Unified Scale Score  \n• Percentile Rank  \n• FAST Equivalent Score  \n• State Benchmark Classification/B. E.S.T. Achievement Level  \n• Domain Scores  \nThis guide will focus on the Star Student Report, Family Portal, and the Individual Student Report (ISR) and the information provided on these resources.  \nUnified Scale Scores  \nThe Star Unified Scale provides scores on a consistent, common scale across all Star assessments: Star Early Literacy, Star Reading, and Star Mathematics. The Star Unified Scale spans the entire range of skills measured by both Star Early Literacy and Star Reading, making it easier for educators to measure student achievement and growth as students transition from emergent readers to independent readers.  \nPercentile Rank  \nThe Percentile Rank (PR) ranges from 1-99 and compares student performance to other students in the same grade nationwide. For a particular student, this score indicates the percentage of students in the norms group who obtained lower scores. For example, if your student earned a PR of 65 in PM1, your student performed better on that assessment than 65% of other students who took the same assessment in the same timeframe (at the beginning of the school","cbCaibRWzfeQIwPw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibRWzfeQIwPw","pdf",1664267,16,"English","# Introduction\n# Testing Format\n# Florida Assessment Scores\n## Unified Scale Scores\n## Percentile Rank\n## FAST Equivalent Scores\n## State Benchmark Classifications","[{\"question\":\"What are the FAST K–2 progress monitoring windows (PM1, PM2, PM3)?\",\"answer\":\"FAST includes three progress monitoring windows.
