Talk:Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test

thread_title: Same Test

message: I think Fcat effect students to past this test in order to graduate from High School. It's very struggling for students to retake fcat over and over again. It really hurting students to graduate and (the school grading rate of reading and math.) Students be dropping out and can't get a diploma cause they can't past the fcat. Also students can't go to college to past the Fcat.

::Hey, I even passed, gotten a nearperfect score for a few years, and I still think it SUCKS. --'Nother non user.
:::Look, the FCAT is the best thing to ever happen to students in Florida. It interrupts weeks of class and pushes lunchtimes up. The only people that fail it deserve to fail.
::::Yeah, I loved the F-THAT (as nearly everyone in the class called it) for that reason.  Nothing like a couple days off of school (thus wasting millions of tax dollars state-wide) to take some multiple-choice tests that don't inidicate shi'ite. 71.106.45.211 04:47, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Considering adding the FCAT logo to the page. (It's the coolest logo I've seen on a test in several years.) Any suggestions?

thread_title:  Logo? 

message: As mentioned above, a logo was added to this article, but now it has been removed. I am not sure why it is gone now, but it couldn't have been for copyright reasons because it was made by the government.
:It's a state logo, not a federal logo. The government works rule only applies to federal logos. However, I agree that there was no reason for it to be removed, it's fair use. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 01:23, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Full protection until September?  Okay, full protection for a few weeks (especially since this is FCAT season) I can see.  Partial protection until September? Maaaaaaaybe.  But full protection for six months is irresponsible.  On an historically static topic like Roman Law or Chinese Emperors I could understand it, but this is the worst use of the protection power I have ever seen in my nearly six months on Wikipedia. 68.17.232.72 (talk) 18:51, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: If you look here, you will see that when that comment was written, all indications were that it expired in September.  It's been changed since.  And no, that would not be reasonable.

message: I noticed several edits recently about what it means to “pass” the FCAT. I thought this reference (pdf) for grade 10 might be useful. http://fcat.fldoe.org/pdf/fcatpass.pdf. As for grade 3, I beleive level 2 or higher is needed – although exemptions can be made. GromXXVII (talk) 11:00, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The 10th grade situation is difficult to clarify in the article.  They still list 10th grade scores as being a "1", "2", "5" or whatever, but that's not what determines passage.  A "1" is a guaranteed failure and a "3" is a guaranteed pass, but a "2" can be a pass or fail, depending on the student's "scale score", which is not always the same from year to year.  It's almost pointless to try to explain in the article without a graph (which would either violate WP:OR or WP:COPY, if you used theirs.  Unschool (talk) 03:53, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

text: Yeah -- the article is sketchy about FCAT grades -- are these what you're calling Levels? -- can you get a "Level" zero? what is the highest grade(s) you can achieve? And, lastly, what are the passing grades? 
And what is the point of all this extraneous SAT/ACT stuff? 
I would love to see some graphs of the ranges of achievement over the years, 
across grades. The FL DOE sites were impenetrable in this regard.70.197.182.182 (talk) 23:47, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

message: There was a 2008 comment that asked the same question. Wikipedia is an international encyclopedia, and I as European just want to know what it tested- what form of assessment is used- so I can compare. I am sure that it would be easy for a Florida teacher to give a synopsis of the requirements.--ClemRutter (talk) 11:35, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
