What is FCAT Test Maker?

 

FCAT to Common Core Crosswalk Resources Now Available

Printable FCAT to Common Core Crosswalks are now available for Florida educators.

To receive your free Common Core Crosswalks, e-mail us at info@progresstesting.com or call 800-930-8378.

These crosswalks can help your school prepare for your blended instruction years as Florida begins its transition to Common Core.

As you use these documents to prepare for the FCAT to Common Core transition, we're already hard at work developing our database of more than 25,000 FCAT 2.0-aligned test items to be ready for Common Core. Later this year, FCAT Test Maker PRO will help you not only with your FCAT progress monitoring, but your Common Core progress monitoring as well.

FCAT Common Core Crosswalks are available for Grades 3-8 Reading and 3-8 Math. They are free for educators and schools to use for your Common Core blended instruction.

In addition to these Crosswalks, we've also lowered the price of FCAT Test Maker PRO to just $1,995 for all editions. Schools that purchase now will be ready for FCAT 2.0 progress monitoring, and will also receive a free Common Core update later this year, which will include thousands of test items tagged to the new Common Core standards.

FCAT Test Maker PRO is CD-based software that allows educators to easily monitor student progress leading up to the high-stakes FCAT exams.

FCAT Test Maker PRO helps Florida schools create their baseline and subsequent benchmark assessments to monitor student progress throughout the school year. With FCAT Test Maker PRO’s Lock-Out feature, you can even secure benchmark tests so that specific test items won’t be used again.

Teachers can also use FCAT Test Maker PRO for their formative assessments, so they can remediate and reassess their students as often as they need. More than 40 full-length FCAT tests are now just a few clicks away.

FCAT Test Maker PRO’s features:

• Create and print data-driven, paper-and-pencil FCAT tests in fewer than three minutes. How does it work?
• Thousands of Florida-specific test items for all tested grades and subjects (including End-of-Course exams) that are 100-percent aligned to the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards and FCAT 2.0 Test Item Specifications. Learn more about our item bank
• The ability to select questions by benchmark, and even edit or add your own test items.
• Easily create accurate, color-coded reports with our Progress Reporter.
• FCAT Test Maker PRO is the most affordable option for Florida schools. View pricing and ordering information

Success Story

“Citrus County has been using FCAT Test Maker items for our district-wide assessments for 4 years now.

The reliability and validity of their content are predictive of FCAT scores, and aid us in identifying student strengths and weakness so that they may be built upon or addressed before the actual FCAT.

Because of their commitment to customer service and the quality of their product, our district is happy to continue our working partnership with FCAT Test Maker, and look forward to a continued partnership for many years to come.”
