Empower Your Students with Personalized FCAT Resources

The Power of Personal Learning

Grow’s MyGuide™ Personal Learning Program empowers a student with content based on his or her FCAT scores. The result is a powerful resource that helps each learner attain competency in the Sunshine State Standards.

Improved Scores, Improved Confidence

MyGuide cover screen shot In Texas, Governor Perry has stated that the study guide program helped increase passing rates for the state’s Grade 11 students on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) by 19 points.

Students currently using Grow’s study guides often credit the guides for clarifying what is expected of them. As a result, the students feel better prepared to take or retake their tests, demonstrating improved confidence.

What’s in the MyGuide Personal Learning Program?

Each student will receive a printed MyGuide™ based on his or her unique FCAT scores. Each MyGuide contains:

  • An overview of the individual FCAT results
  • Information to help students understand the Sunshine State Standards
  • Content calibrated to the individual’s scores for each FCAT cluster to help that student improve on his or her areas of weakness and build on his or her areas of strength

“Once I looked at the study guide, I knew I could do it, but what made me pass was knowing that they were serious about this. I knew I had to take my time with the test, and read carefully. I felt that this time they were really holding me accountable…I knew I better give it my best shot. It was not so much the guide itself that helped me pass instead it was the message it gave me.”

– Arizona high school student
