Purpose
The purpose of this rule amendment is to include scale scores for each Achievement Level for use in reporting student proficiency levels for the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) 2.0 Science (grades 5 and 8), and the Biology 1 and Geometry End-of-Course (EOC) Assessments. In addition, with the elimination of the prior version of FCAT Reading, the rule will be amended to include an equivalent passing score on the Grade 10 FCAT 2.0 Reading. The effect will be a rule which reflects expectations for students.
