Here most of the tests went to computerized versions (not all grade levels)...but they did that but then didn't give the schools more computers so they had to stretch out the testing window because you have to shuffle all the classes that take them on the computer through the computer labs and libraries.
So FCAT testing has involved 3 full weeks. But my 4th grader took one 45 minute section of reading one morning and the other session the next morning and then the math the following two days and he was done. His was not on the computer. 5th grade math was.
My 8th grader took science test in two sessions on one day, did reading (on the computer) last Friday session one in the morning and reading session 2 Monday morning. He doesn't take FCAT 8th grade math test because he is in Algebra so he has another test at the end of the year, Algebra EOC, instead.
Both my 4th grader and 8th grader had to take a writing test in February, one 1-hour session.
