TALLAHASSEE -- Leave your cell phones at home during FCATs -- that was the word from the state Department of Education to students.

The state said it was told a sophomore at Atlantic High School in Port Orange took pictures of the super secret test, and posted them on his MySpace page.

Students have since been banned from having electronic devices that reproduce, transmit, calculate or record in their possession, or within reach -- even in a backpack or purse -- during the test.

The reading and math portion of the exam was scheduled to begin Tuesday.
