Florida PERT Pass Rate, Format & Study Guide

The P.E.R.T. has three separate placement subtests: Mathematics, Reading and Writing, each a computer-adaptive, multiple-choice test of 30 items (25 operational and 5 unscored field-test items). The tests are untimed, and the state-established college-ready standard scores are Mathematics 114, Reading 106 and Writing 103 (Florida Department of Education). This portal's practice mock has 75 questions across the three subtests.

Placement scores decide whether you start in college-level math, reading and writing or in a preparatory course first. Scoring at the college-ready standards lets you skip the prep course.
