FCAT Writing+ test

The Commissioner has recommended removal of the multiple-choice items from the and to delay its use as a graduation requirement. The FCAT Writing+ test and the board rule related to the graduation requirements for Writing+ (6A-1.09422, FAC) will be modified.  The first cohort of students to be required to “sit” for the writing graduation test is this year’s sophomore class.  These students took the test thinking they would need to pass it for their scheduled graduation in the spring of 2010.  Students will need to be notified of this change.

Please find information links related to a change in the FCAT Writing+ test below.
