Florida’s Summer 2026 testing window runs July 13–17, 2026. This includes the FAST Grade 10 ELA Reading Retake and EOC assessments in Algebra 1, Geometry, Biology 1, Civics, and US History. Your exact testing day depends on your district’s local schedule within that statewide window.
If your child needs to retake the Grade 10 ELA exam or an EOC assessment this summer, the statewide window is confirmed.
Districts choose their exact dates within this window, so the specific testing day can vary by school.
Statewide Summer 2026 Testing Window
The Florida Department of Education sets one statewide window for all summer retake testing.
For 2026, that window is July 13 through July 17.
This applies to the FAST Grade 10 ELA Reading Retake and all five EOC subjects offered during summer testing.
| Assessment | Statewide Window |
|---|---|
| FAST Grade 10 ELA Reading Retake | July 13–17, 2026 |
| Algebra 1 EOC | July 13–17, 2026 |
| Geometry EOC | July 13–17, 2026 |
| Biology 1 EOC | July 13–17, 2026 |
| Civics EOC | July 13–17, 2026 |
| US History EOC | July 13–17, 2026 |
District Testing Dates Vary
The state gives each school district flexibility to pick their actual testing days within that window.
For example, Seminole County Public Schools scheduled their summer testing for June 23 through June 25, 2026, which falls before the main statewide window opens.
This means your district’s exact date may differ from the statewide window dates shown above.
Always check directly with your school for the confirmed local testing day.
Who Qualifies for the Summer Retake
Not every student is automatically eligible for summer retake testing. Here is who typically qualifies.
- Students who scored Level 1 or Level 2 on the Spring 2026 FAST Grade 10 ELA Reading test
- Rising juniors and seniors who have not yet met their Grade 10 ELA or Algebra 1 graduation requirement
- Virtual school students who did not participate in Spring 2026 testing due to less than 70 percent course completion
If you are unsure whether your child qualifies, contact your school’s testing coordinator directly.
What Is the Passing Score
A passing score on the FAST Grade 10 ELA Reading Retake is Level 3 or higher.
This level satisfies the ELA portion of Florida’s graduation assessment requirement.
Students scoring Level 1 or Level 2 will need another opportunity to retake the exam before graduation.
How the Test Is Administered
The FAST Grade 10 ELA Reading Retake is a computer-based test lasting 120 minutes.
EOC assessments are also computer-based and typically run 160 minutes, depending on the subject.
Results for computer-based tests are often available shortly after the testing session ends, though full official scores typically take about two weeks to process.
How to Register
Public school students do not need to register separately. Your school automatically enrolls eligible students based on Spring 2026 results.
Home education, private school, and scholarship students must register through their district’s Home Education office.
For Seminole County, this registration window ran from May 1 through June 5, 2026. Other districts may set different deadlines, so check with your local district office.
Where to Check Results
Families can access results through the Florida Statewide Assessments Family Portal.
You will need your child’s six-digit access code, date of birth, and first name exactly as it appears on school records.
Your school can provide the access code if you do not already have it.
