P.E.R.T. 2015-2016 TRAINING
What is it?The Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (P.E.R.T.) is
an untimed computer-based adaptive test , specifi cally developed for Florida to determine if students are college-ready in reading, writing, and mathematics.
What is an adaptive test?Adaptive tests change the diffi culty of questions the
student receives based on his/her answers to previous questions. Therefore, questions cannot be skipped nor can students return to questions and change their answers. Once they have submitted their answer to a question, it is fi nal.
How long does the P.E.R.T. take? It is an untimed test. Each subtest (reading, writing,
math) consists of 30 multiple-choice questions.

How are students selected to take the P.E.R.T?Students who have not passed the Algebra EOC
(Pearson or FSA) can currently earn a comparative score of 97+ to meet this graduation requirement. [Ongoing]
College and career readiness is still utilized in the factoring of the district report card. Therefore, as a district, we will still target seniors who have not yet earned CCR scores. [November 2015, February 2016]
Students who are enrolled in the College Readiness/Success Courses (Math, Reading, English 4: FL CP) will be required to take the applicable PERT subtests as finals, unless CCR scores have been earned previously. [May 2016]

will be allowed the same accommodations they normally have for state tests. It is important to note that no students are allowed to use hand-held calculators unless it is specifically mentioned in an IEP. An online calculator will be available for specific questions.
