Yeah - the 10th grade Math test is 32 pages. I'm on DSL, and even then they took some time to download.

WOW! Does this bring back memories. Some of the questions test simple reasoning, while others take some calculating to solve. Having been out of school for some time now (and hence, out of the "study" habit) I had to dig back really far into my brain. Fortunately for the kids, some references and formulas are provided in the beginning to help them. It seems to me that if a student was diligent in keeping up with his/her homework through the year, they would be able to do well on this test.

I wonder what type of time limit is given? Also, the SAT's allowed you to re-take the test in order to improve your scores. I wonder if the FCAT's will allow this as well.

See my post #11 and the link, re time limits, for the answer to your above question.

The link on my post #11 goes to the FCAT Home page and this topic, which you'll see right at the top of that page:

Total Testing Time by Grade (PDF) - provides a summary of the total amount of time students in each grade are spending on FCAT tests.

What the hell, they give them a formula sheet. We had to know those formulas and theorem before the test.
