Why you can’t compare FSA priorto 2008.
In 2008, the following changes were made to FSA:
• Time of the year- January/February- Different standards
• Different scale
• Inclusion of web-based portions
Data prior to 2008 was based on who wrote the exam.
Currently, it is based on all students enrolled.
