FCAT testing is under way for many students in the Sunshine State, but a number of schools are reporting problems with the computers used for the test.

According to various reports, several school districts had problems with the computer systems, canceling testing altogether.

According to MyFox Tampa Bay, Pasco County is recommending its schools pause FCAT testing because administrators are having trouble signing onto the FCAT system.

Pearson, the company proctoring the test, is apparently having site issues.

Several students took to Twitter to talk about the testing problems. Some said they shouldn't be taking tests on computers while others say they waited in their classrooms for nearly three hours doing nothing while they waited for the issue to be resolved.

The problems do not appear to be statewide.
