- MDC implemented
the use of FCAT scores on July 16th, 2007.
-
Reading scores will exempt for both the reading and writing
sections of the CPT.
-
A passing FCAT score in one subject area may be used with a passing CPT,
ACT, or SAT score
in another subject area. In addition, the two year
valid testing period that is used for the CPT,
ACT, or SAT will not
be used for the FCAT, since students begin taking the FCAT in 10th grade.
-
In addition, the two year valid testing period that is used for the CPT,
ACT, or SAT will not be
used for the FCAT, since students begin
taking the FCAT in the 10th grade. The MDC procedure
will be
to expire the score if it was not used for placement 2 years after the
student’s high school
graduation date
.

Students scoring below the required FCAT ranges will be required to take
the CPT for appropriate placement or to provide evidence of exemption
through the ACT or SAT if they have earned a
