The FCAT starts on Tuesday February the 9th, which is next Tuesday.
I know that one of the big questions that is asked by high school students and parents is:
Is a passing score on the FCAT Writing assessment a graduation requirement?
The answer as of right now is no, although it had been for the class of 2010. Read the more complete answer here.
Good Luck to everyone testing!
