FSA Tutoring FAQ
The FSA, or Florida Standards Assessments, are administered in grades 3-8 for both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with additional End-Of-Course (EOC) exams at the end of Algebra I, Geometry, and High School English (grades 9-10). The FSA took the place of the FCAT (Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test) during the 2014-2015 school year. If your child needs a little help to reach their academic potential on these assessments, Varsity Tutors can connect you with a knowledgeable FSA tutor.
Here are some of the benefits of FSA tutoring:
Access to an expert who can answer any questions asked in real time
The ability to work in an environment free of commonplace classroom distractions
Learn test-taking strategies with the FSA in mind
Greater flexibility to concentrate on a student's unique needs
Every FSA test has its own format, including topics covered, number of questions, time available, and whether it's administered in a paper or computer-based format. Most of the tests are given over two testing sessions split between two days, though the math exams in grades 6-8 consist of three 60-minute sessions instead. A calculator is also provided for the math exams.
Private FSA tutoring allows a student to study exactly what is on the test they are preparing for. If your child excels in math but has a harder time with reading comprehension and writing, their study sessions can concentrate on ELA skills. Active reading skills can help students identify the critical information in a reading passage, ensuring that they do not spend all of their available time on one question. Outlining skills can also help a student organize their thoughts so that they do not forget any vital information in a written response.
FSA tutoring also allows students to work at their own pace, whether that means moving faster than the classroom or taking time to focus on topics to help a student catch up. A tutor can also get to know their pupil on a personal level, allowing them to incorporate the student's interests to make study sessions more engaging.
Practice exams play a large role in FSA prep, and a tutor can provide as many as a student needs. This kind of preparation can go a long way toward building efficiency on the exam and in relieving any test anxiety a student may be feeling, potentially making it easier to concentrate on the task at hand.
