FCAT 2.0 Historical
From 2011–2014, the FCAT 2.0 was used to measure student achievement of the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) in reading, mathematics, and writing. In spring 2015, it was replaced by the Florida Standards Assessments (FSA) in English language arts and mathematics to measure student achievement of the Florida Standards. The FCAT 2.0 Reading Retake was administered for the final time in spring 2018. The Statewide Science Assessment and NGSSS EOC assessments will continue to be administered.
