"The FCAT
Simulation Software has allowed our students to zero in on a particular
skill. It has been an invaluable tool for preparing our students for the
FCAT and parents love it for home use. The kids tell me that after using
The FCAT Simulation software, the real FCAT seemed easy."
Georganne Dodge
Valleyview Elementary School
"Riverglades
Elementary has been very satisfied with the software. We feel it serves
as an excellent supplementary source to classroom instruction. Students
are encouraged to take the tests and use the grading summary to guide
then in assessing their weaknesses."
Susan Fendenheim
Riverglades Elementary School
"Students
thought that this software was more effective than others because it was
straight forward and more closely related to the actual test. Students
felt they were learning true FCAT strategies."
Alina Morin
Miami Sunset Senior High School
"As current
technology coordinator and previous math teacher (17 years), I highly
recommend The FCAT Simulation Software, by Test Tools, Inc. After using
the Florida HSCT Simulation Software for many years and loving it
Pensacola High School purchased the Grade 10 Mathematics and Reading
version of The FCAT Simulation Software. We believe that a dedicated
staff and a wide variety of resources that include a good practice are
the necessary ingredients for success. Test Tools software offers
superior practice!"
Carolyn Rohr
Pensacola High School
"We love
Test Tools! Our school went from a "C" school to an "A" school. We feel
that our regular use of The FCAT Simulation Software by our 8th grade
students is a large contributing factor to our better scores. We are
very excited to see that a Science component has been added. Thank you
so much for a wonderful product."
Linda Byak, Network Manager
Southwest Middle School
"Test Tools
was a lifesaver for our school! It was like having a safety net for the
stakeholders. This was especially evident for out fourth and fifth grade
students who used The FCAT Simulation. Every student acted as an active
learner, vesting personal interest in one's individual progress.
Granted, this was half the battle; the rest was up to the educators and
the parents. Eureka!"
Donita Gay
Ojus Elementary School
"We had an incredible jump
in our scores after using The FCAT Simulation software."
Peggy Adams
Vernon Middle School
"The 4th
grade teachers at my school used it with their classes and feel that it
was a positive in helping raise test scores. I feel that one of the most
positive things about the program was allowing parents to have it at
home."
Tabatha Davis
Vernon Elementary School
"The program did what we
expected, our scores went up."
Fabian Hankerson

"Helped
parents understand and support the students in preparing for the FCAT.
Parents frequently ask, 'What can we do at home to help?' This year,
with Test Tools, the answer was simple."
Bryna Berman
Ojus Elementary School
"The take-home policy gave
students the opportunity to practice not only at school, but also in
their own homes. Parents were very excited about this opportunity."

the test. The closest I have seen to the real thing."
Tracy Lee
Fort White High School
"Students were better
prepared for both FCAT strategies and FCAT format as a result of working
with The FCAT preparatory material."
Rob Campbell
Lake Gibson Middle School
"I enjoy using The FCAT
Simulation" software because it allows each student to work at his/her
own pace. Students can "revisit" specific items to rethink their
responses.
Elsie Vivenzo
McFatter Magnet Tech High School
"In my opinion, The FCAT
Simulation is a quality product that can be of significant help to
students in taking the FCAT. I especially like the instructional
strategies that are included in this software. These strategies are
focused on the Benchmarks, which are based on the FCAT."
Ward Hurst
Secondary Education Director
"The FCAT Simulation is the
most realistic FCAT preparation software available. Our students love
it! Our teachers love it!"
Mary Ann Reeve
Scottlake Elementary School
"The FCAT
Simulation from Test Tools is making FCAT preparation easy. Students are
more willing to work on a computer that to do repetitive worksheets.
Students appreciate the fact that they can concentrate on their own weak
areas."
Brian Kelly
Cooper City High School
"Parents are coming out of
the woodwork! They all want the software – a perfect tool to show them
what is expected on the FCAT!"
Kathy Giroux
Kathleen Elementary School
"I think
the take-home policy for this product is excellent. Parents are now much
more aware of the complexity of the test their children are taking.
Students who used the software had much more confidence in their
abilities on test day."
Chris English
Floral Avenue Elementary School
"We have
logged in over 350 student contact hours in the media center computer
lab and we love it. Students have checked out copies of the CD-ROM to
install at home. The software is very user friendly. Students love
working on the computers. They have been encouraging and helping each
other figuring out the answers. It has been great!"
Dottie Gillick
Gibbs High School
"Our
students and teachers were able to approach the FCAT with confidence
after using the software."
Maria Turner
Gibsonton Elementary School
"The
program is very good and with the promised updates should be fantastic.
We have had all of our 10th graders take the pre-test this year and are
anxious to see if it helps as much as your HSCT program helped out
juniors – They were #1 in the district by a wide margin."

able to use the computer instead of using books."
