Florida DOE PERT Student Study Guide
PERT Math is a Florida college-readiness and placement assessment, not a pass/fail exam. It contains 30 items (25 scored operational items plus 5 unscored field-test items) and is untimed and computer-adaptive. Current Florida Rule 6A-10.0315 uses 114 as the statewide Mathematics readiness score, while exemptions, alternative methods, exact course placement, fees, and retake rules can vary by institution and student status.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on the PERT Math subtest?
The PERT Math subtest has 30 questions total — 25 are scored operational items that determine your placement score, and 5 are unscored field-test items embedded throughout the exam. You cannot tell which questions are field-test items.
What score do I need to place into college-level math?
Under current Florida Rule 6A-10.0315, a PERT Mathematics score of 114 demonstrates readiness for college-level coursework. PERT itself is not pass/fail. Exact course placement can also depend on institutional policy, exemptions, approved alternative assessments, or other readiness methods, so do not treat an older or local 123 threshold as a current statewide rule.
Is the PERT Math test timed?
No. Florida DOE describes PERT as untimed. Testing centers may publish an estimated appointment length for scheduling, but that estimate is not a statewide test limit.
Can I use a calculator on the PERT Math test?
You may not bring a personal calculator. However, an on-screen calculator is provided within the testing software for certain items that require it. Not all questions will have the calculator available.
How does the computer-adaptive format work?
PERT is computer-adaptive, so later items are selected using earlier responses. Once you submit an answer and move to the next item, the official student guide says you cannot go back or leave an item unanswered.
How many times can I retake the PERT?
Florida does not publish one universal retake count or wait period for every institution and student. Retake eligibility, required remediation, waiting periods, and fees vary by testing center, so check the current policy of the school that will administer or use your score.
