• The Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) is a progress monitoring tool that will be administered three times per year to track your student’s progress in learning the Benchmarks of Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.) Standards throughout this school year. Your student will take the assessments three times per school year. Your student’s results from PM1, PM2 and PM3 are for informational purposes only, and your student’s school will provide you with information about how to access the results after testing is completed.  All FAST assessments are computer-adaptive tests taken on a computer or tablet. The questions get easier or more difficult depending on how the student responds, and each student will see different questions.
