PERT - Florida's Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (PERT)

The PERT is an entry-level placement test required of all degree seeking students in the Florida College System (FCS) according to Florida Statutes, Section 1008.30, Rule 6A-10.0315. This test will determine your initial placement in English, reading and mathematics courses. Exemptions can be found here: Exemptions to Requirements for Taking the PERT.

Prepare for your PERT Math exam  / ACCUPLACER Advanced Algebra and Functions (AAF) with LOM

  • Learn from expert instructors in an interactive, online classroom setting, with both group and individual attention
  • There's no failing the exam, however it will impact the courses you'll take at Community College.  So, it's important that you study for the test.
  • The PERT assessment is meant to determine whether you are ready for college level classes. Ultimately, your score on the test will place you into either college-prep or college-level courses. Consequently, the more seriously you take the test, the more likely you are to prepare appropriately..
  • In the end, it would be better to take the proper developmental or prep class and be well-prepared for the college-level class rather than to fail and retake it. Even though taking a prep course would require an extra cost upfront, it could more than pay for itself down the road in time, emotional health, and even further tuition costs.
