DISTRICTS may administer Grade 11 Science on Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, or Day 5. This must be a DISTRICT (not a school-by-school) decision. Both 75-minute sessions must be administered on the same day. Each district must notify the FDOE of the selected Grade 11 Science administration days.
S L I D E 6
What’s New for the 2009 FCAT
Recycling Several new references to recycling appear in the 2008–09
test administration manuals.
FDOE encourages schools and districts to consider recycling manuals and other non-secure ancillary materials after scores have been reported.
Any references to recycling materials should not be interpreted as permission to reuse them (e.g., planning sheets, math reference sheets, periodic tables).
S L I D E 7
What’s New for the 2009 FCAT (continued)
NO NRT Administration
NO Computer-based Reading and Mathematics RETAKE
Writing (Grades 4, 8, and 10) Test group codes will not be used for this FCAT Writing
administration. No multiple-choice items for any grade level. All grade levels will use an unsealed four-page writing
folder that contains a writing prompt and 2 lined pages for students to record their responses.
Planning sheets are separate handouts from the writing folders (no longer perforated pages inside the test document). Planning sheets are considered secure materials and should be collected after testing.
Due to legislative changes, earning a passing score on the Grade 10 FCAT Writing will not be required for graduation with a standard high school diploma.
S L I D E 8
What’s New for the 2009 FCAT (continued)
Reading, Mathematics, and Science Test group codes will now be used for ALL grades, including
Grades 3 and 4. Grades 4, 8, and 10 Reading tests contain items that have no
test questions and instruct students to leave the answer boxes for those items blank.• Scripts for these tests include updated language to help students
anticipate and understand these items. PreID Labels for Reading and Mathematics RETAKE
• One set for Reading Retake and another set for Mathematics Retake• No subject designation on the labels• Be sure to affix the label to the subject test that the student is
scheduled to take.If a label is affixed to a subject test that a student is not scheduled to take, the book cannot be used and must be returned with all other NOT TO BE SCORED materials. Do not remove the label. Grid PreID information on a replacement test and answer book.
S L I D E 9
Reminders for the 2009 FCAT
Districts/schools are required to adhere to the daily testing schedule, unless a request for a change was made by the district and approved by the FDOE.
Test administrators are required to use ALL of the allotted time in each test session and should not end a session early.
A student with the accommodation of extra time must complete one session before continuing to the next session.
If a student starts a test and leaves school without finishing (for an appointment, illness, etc.), he/she will NOT be allowed to complete the test. No exceptions will be made once the student leaves the
school’s campus; therefore, if you have concerns about a student, you should not allow the student to begin.
Instead, consider administering the test on one of the make-up days.
S L I D E 10
Reminders for the 2009 FCAT
Students may not have any electronic or recording devices at their desks, clipped to their belts, in their pockets, or anywhere they can reach them during testing, even if the devices are turned off or the students do not use them. If a student is found to be in possession of ANY
electronic device(s) during testing, his or her test must be invalidated in order to successfully enforce this policy.
Inappropriate actions by school or district personnel before, during, or after test administration may result in consequences such as test invalidations and/or loss of teaching certification. Please carefully read the Test Security Policies and
Procedures to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
District assessment coordinators must require that school administrators, school assessment coordinators, test administrators, and proctors sign an FCAT Administration and Security Agreement.
S L I D E 11
Reminders for the 2009 FCAT (continued)
Large Print and/or Braille Materials Districts and schools may not transcribe student
responses from large print and braille documents into regular print answer documents, unless the materials are defective.• Student responses will be transcribed by contractor staff. • District/school personnel will continue to be responsible for
some transcription, as described in Appendix A of each test administration manual.
Students using large print materials must record answers in large print documents.• If a test administrator records a student’s response (i.e.,
flexible responding), he or she must record directly into the large print document.
S L I D E 12
Reminders for the 2009 FCAT (continued)

Preidentified Student Answer Documents
Verify that the student is still enrolled and will be tested. PreID Roster should be verified against the school’s student information
database. Five elements MUST be correct on a student PreID label for Grades 4, 8, and 10
Writing, Grades 3-10 Reading and Mathematics, and Grades 5, 8, and 11 Science: Student last name Student ID number District number School number Grade level
Four elements MUST be correct on a student PreID label for RETAKE: Student last name Student ID number District number School number
The PreID Roster includes the complete Social Security Number (SSN) or Florida Student Number for each preidentified student. Even though the same file was used to create both the PreID Rosters and the student
PreID labels, only the last four digits of the SSN preceded by five Xs and followed by one X (XXXXX7884X) are printed on the labels.
You are NOT required to grid the missing numbers of an SSN.

assessment coordinator before a final invalidation decision is made.
The appropriate DNS bubble MUST be gridded on a USED document if:
S L I D E 24
Test Invalidation Policies and Procedures (continued)
The appropriate DNS Bubble MAY be gridded if:6. A student becomes ill and is unable to finish, OR is
not allowed the correct amount of time.
Consideration: Was the student provided adequate time to respond to the test questions or prompt?
Yes – submit the document for scoring
No – invalidate that test on the document and handle it accordingly
If the validity of the test has not been compromised, you may allow a student to return to the testing room during the same school day for the remainder of time left for the test.
It is not necessary to invalidate UNUSED documents if they are packaged with NOT TO BE SCORED materials.

Make sure that: students are not facing each other if seated at tables students are not in seating that allows them to view other
students’ answers there is sufficient space (at least three feet) between
students
Remove or cover all visual aids on student desks and in the room, such as posters showing mathematical and scientific concepts.
S L I D E 29
During testing, ensure that students: clear their desks of all materials except the appropriate
test materials use only No. 2 pencils do not have books, notes, scratch paper, or electronic
devices of any kind even if they do not use them do not talk or make any disturbance work independently work in the correct session and record their answers in the
appropriate area
Do NOT: talk with students about any test item help students answer any test item check through books return books to students after they have been collected discuss test items or answers with students even after all
test materials have been returned and testing has been completed
