    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST)

    The FAST (Florida Assessment of Student Thinking) is a computer-based, adaptive assessment that measures student proficiency in English Language Arts (ELA) Reading, Mathematics, and Science for grades 3-10 in Florida. It replaces the previous FSA tests and emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, and application of knowledge over rote memorization.

    The FAST test is administered in three windows throughout the school year:

    • First: Between August 15th and September 30th.
    • Second: Between December 5th and January 27th.
    • Third: Between May 1st and June 2nd.

    The FAST assesses three core subjects:

    • ELA Reading: Assesses comprehension, analysis, and critical thinking skills.
    • Mathematics: Measures problem-solving abilities, reasoning, and application of mathematical concepts.
    • Science: Evaluates understanding of scientific knowledge, processes, and real-world applications.
