PERT

The PERT (Postsecondary Education Readiness Test) is a multiple-choice exam used by the state of Florida to measure the academic readiness of future college students. The purpose of the exam is to evaluate a student's ability to perform college-level work in subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. Each section is composed of 30 multiple-choice questions. Students receive a score on each section that determines their placement level.
