To login to FCAT Explorer

1. Use and internet browser (like Netscape Navigator, Netscape Communicator, or Microsoft Internet Explorer) to go to www.fcatexplorer.com. If you have AOL, sign on, close the window but do not quit the program. You need to be connected to the internet. Then run one of the above browsers. If you need Flash as a plug in to support animation, the program will redirect you to a free site to download Flash so you can update your browser.

2. At the top right, use the Sign-In Name which will be your last name and first initial (no space). For example, if you are Robert Smith, you would type in smithr. Your password will be 06 followed by the first 4 digits of your last name, 2 digit birth month, and 2 digit birth date. If Robert Smith was born on January 3rd, his password would be 06smit0103. Check to see if your name and school matches when you get in. If not, sign out and try this: some passwords will be followed by numbers like 01 or 02 since some students have similar Sign-In names. If you still cannot get in, inform your teacher or see Ms. Shaw in room 241. New students need to be entered. The teacher or Ms. Shaw can enroll you if you are new or check your password. You or your parents can use the Sign-In Name student1 and type in the Password student1 to just look around. Then click on Sign In.

3. Feel free to explore the different programs. There are lower level reading and math programs. The bottom left and right choices are for 10th grade level timeline reading and math programs!!
