Standards. The Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST), which includes VPK through grade 10 ELA Reading and VPK through grade 8 Mathematics assessments, is administered as a progress monitoring assessment three times per year. B.E.S.T. assessments that are not part of the FAST progress monitoring program include grades 4\u201310 Writing and end-of-course (EOC) assessments in Algebra 1 and Geometry. Information about these assessments can be found on the following pages:<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, a passing score (level 3 or higher) is required for 10th-grade students <strong>to satisfy their ELA graduation assessment requirement.\u00a0 <\/strong>The FAST ELA Reading PM3 is administered in a single 120-minute session, and students may continue working up to the end of the school day.<\/p>\n<p>The testing windows below denote the time allotted to districts and schools to select test administration days; they do not represent the time students spend taking the assessments. The windows are established to provide maximum flexibility to efficiently deliver these important measurements of student progress and performance and maximize student learning and instructional time.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Additional Resources:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fldoe.org\/file\/5663\/2627StatewideAssessmentSched.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click
