How to use the Florida assessment timetable
The useful planning sequence is statewide window first, then the district or school’s student-specific testing calendar.
1. Find the correct assessment
Search by assessment name, grade group, subject or season. Check whether the row is a general statewide, VPK, FAA or other statewide entry.
2. Read the published precision
A row may be an exact day range, a month-level period, an instructional-day rule or a “no assessment scheduled” notice. Treat each one as written.
3. Confirm the local appointment
Use the district or school calendar for the test day, room, reporting time, accommodations and any make-up or local scheduling detail.
- Save the assessment, grade and subject row.
- Record the published statewide window or rule.
- Check whether the district sets the exact day.
- Ask the school about make-up testing and accommodations.
- Confirm which Grade 10/11 option the district selected.
- Recheck the official source for changes before testing.
Florida assessment timetable FAQs
Common questions about FAST, EOCs, FAA, VPK rules, statewide windows and district-selected test dates.
What is the Florida Assessment System exam timetable?
It is a statewide planning guide built from the Florida Department of Education’s 2026–27 statewide assessment schedule. It shows statewide windows and rules, not one mandatory test date for every student.
Does this page show my child’s exact test date?
Usually no. Florida publishes statewide windows, and districts or schools select the exact administration day within many of those windows. Check your district or school calendar for the student-level appointment.
What assessments are included?
The workbook covers general statewide assessments, FAST VPK rules, Florida Alternate Assessment (FAA), and other statewide assessments such as FCLE, WIDA, Grade 10/11 options, ASVAB and the FDOE-listed AP period.
What does FAST mean?
FAST is Florida’s progress-monitoring assessment system. The timetable includes PM1, PM2 and PM3 rows where the statewide schedule publishes them.
What are FAST PM1, PM2 and PM3?
They are the three FAST progress-monitoring administrations. The grades, subjects and statewide windows vary by administration, so use the matching row rather than assuming the same window applies to every grade.
When is B.E.S.T. Writing in 2027?
The workbook lists the Spring administration window as March 29 through April 9, 2027 for Grades 4–10. Your district or school sets the exact day inside the window.
Which EOC assessments are listed?
The statewide EOC rows include Algebra 1, Biology 1, Civics, Geometry and U.S. History across the published fall, winter, spring and summer administrations.
What is a FAST retake?
The schedule lists Grade 10 FAST ELA Reading retake windows. Eligibility and the precise student appointment are confirmed by the school or district.
What is the Florida Alternate Assessment (FAA)?
FAA is included through Performance Task and Datafolio rows. The timetable preserves the published periods, grade/course group and subject information for each administration.
What are FAA Datafolio periods?
They are published data-collection periods. This page shows the three workbook periods and their subject/group rows; the district or school manages the exact local activity dates.
What is FAST Star Early Literacy for VPK?
The VPK rows use instructional-day or instructional-hours rules rather than a fixed calendar date. Traditional programs with 83 or more instructional days follow the rules stated in the source workbook.
Are WIDA ACCESS and WIDA Alternate ACCESS included?
Yes. Both appear in the Other Statewide category with their annual statewide administration window for eligible English learners.
What is FCLE?
FCLE is the Florida Civic Literacy Exam. The timetable includes the published fall/winter and spring windows for applicable students.
Why do ACT, SAT, CLT or AP rows sometimes show only months?
FDOE publishes some periods at month level or describes a district-selected option. This page preserves that precision instead of creating an exact date that the source does not provide.
How do Grade 10 and Grade 11 options work?
The workbook notes that districts select one stated option for the relevant grade group, such as ACT, SAT or CLT for Grade 11 and PreACT, PSAT/NMSQT or CLT10 for Grade 10. Confirm your district’s choice.
Are AP Exams included in the Florida schedule?
The FDOE statewide schedule lists May 2027 as the AP period. Individual AP subject dates are set by the College Board and are not replaced by a fabricated Florida-specific date here.
Why does the table show “No assessment scheduled” for NAEP?
The FDOE 2026–27 schedule explicitly states that no NAEP assessments are scheduled at this time. The row is retained so the workbook’s complete statewide context is visible.
How should I use this timetable for planning?
Filter by assessment, season or category, save the statewide window and status, then ask the school for the exact testing day, reporting time, access arrangements and any local calendar updates.
