FCAT

Think you could ace the FCAT? You can try online

TALLAHASSEE - Those who reminisce about how great it was in high school can give themselves a reality check next week.

On Wednesday, state officials will put an old edition of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test online so people can see how smart 10th-graders should be.

Don't sweat it if you don't know much about history or biology - the test has only reading and math questions. They come from the 2004 exam, and most likely won't be seen on any FCAT again soon.

Department of Education officials said Friday the test will go on the Web site www.fldoe.org People can take it, then see the correct answers.

They can't get a score like students, because not all questions on the FCAT are scored.

"It will satisfy curiosity, probably, more than anything else," said Education Commissioner John Winn.
