Florida (FAST) Math Practice Test for Grade 8

Apply integer exponent rules (product rule, power rule, negative exponents) and convert between standard and scientific notation.

Determine the slope, y-intercept, and equation of a line from two points or a graph, and solve linear systems by substitution or elimination.

Apply the Pythagorean theorem and the distance formula, and calculate the volume of cones/spheres and surface area of cylinders.

Split administration into two 30-35 minute sessions (questions 1-20, then 21-40) if a single 60-75 minute block is not available, as the teacher's guide itself suggests.

Use the standards-alignment chart in the teacher's guide to tally errors by benchmark after scoring, then form small re-teaching groups around whichever standards at least half the class missed.

Read questions aloud for students with an IEP or 504 accommodation, per the guide's stated accommodation note.

Integer exponent operations — students apply product, power, and negative-exponent rules and convert between standard and scientific notation (questions 2-8, 38).

Linear equations and systems — students find slope and y-intercept, write equations of lines, and solve systems by substitution and elimination, including special no-solution and infinite-solution cases (questions 9-22).

Geometry and measurement — students apply the Pythagorean theorem, the distance formula, and volume/surface-area formulas for cones, spheres, and cylinders (questions 23-30, 37, 40).
