Testing Schedule & Information for 2025-2026

Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) is set up as a progress monitoring model. FAST assessments are computer-adaptive tests taken on a computer. The questions get easier or more difficult depending on how the student responds, and each student will see different questions from a common item bank. Each progress monitoring test attempt (PM1, PM2, and PM3) will present items that will cover the entire test “blueprint,” meaning students will encounter items representative of the standards within the subject or grade level.

Each test covers information that is expected to be taught at some point during the school year.  Therefore, the results from the first two tests may not reflect student achievement accurately.  These results should not be considered student achievement but rather be used to identify areas of need
