•Performance tasks appear in Grades 5, 8, and 10 on the 2010 tests (But no Science Performance tasks this year.)
2010 FCAT Mathematics•Rulers will be provided for use on the second session of the Grade 3 and 4 tests. (Exception: Calibration schools)
•Gridded-response items appear in Gr 4 for the first time. (Field Test items only) •Grade 4 sessions increased to 70 minutes each.
2010 FCAT Mathematics
•New and old grid types will be used in Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10.•New grids are used in Field Test Items only.
See Learning Village Grade Level Pages for further information and examples.Grid changes vary at each grade level.
2010 FCAT Mathematics•New reference sheets in Grades 5, 6-8 & 10 (See samples in newly released Sample Tests and on Learning Village)
•Old reference sheet will be used for Grade 9 and Retakes.
•Four-function calculator will be used in Grades 7-10 (as in the past)
Algebra I End-of-Course (EOC)May 2010 Field Test
•Computer based field test items•MC and Fill-in items only•A representative sample of schools•All grade 9 students and Algebra 1 students in grades 10-12•New reference sheet•Four-function calculator online tool•Assessment derived from Course Description: Algebra 1 - 1200310
Geometry End-of-Course (EOC)May 2010 Field Test
•Computer based field test items•MC and Fill-in items only•A representative sample of schools•All grade 9-12 Geometry students in the selected schools•New reference sheet•Scientific calculator as an online tool•Assessment derived from Course Description: Geometry - 1206310

Math EOC Assessments & Graduation Requirements are
PENDING LEGISLATIONWhat we know for sure:•EOC Assessments are proposed•Field Testing is planned in anticipation of passage of legislation•Current grade 9 students and maybe 2010 incoming Grade 9 students will be administered the FCAT I Retake as a graduation requirement
Biology • The Biology End of Course Exam (EOC) – field tested in select schools spring of 2011. – Pending legislation, it will eventually replace the
current 11th Grade FCAT Science.
• Current FCAT Science will continue to be given in 11th grade in Spring 2010 and Spring 2011.
