Placement Scores and Dual Enrollment Eligibility
The Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (PERT) is a standardized assessment given to Florida high school students and incoming college students within the state. Each test taker receives a scaled score on three distinct subtests.
Scores range from 50 (the lowest possible) to 150 (the highest possible) for each section. The PERT is not a pass-or-fail exam. Instead, the scores reflect a student’s skill level in each subject area and help guide appropriate course placement to support their academic success.
Individuals who are interested in pursuing postsecondary studies must earn suitable scores on the PERT tests to demonstrate that they are ready for college-level classes. The established qualifying scores for college coursework are 106 – reading, 103-writing, and 114-math. Additionally, to qualify for dual enrollment, students must maintain a minimum unweighted high school GPA of 3.0, and a college GPA of 2.5.

| 9 (Collegiate) | 3.0 or higher | 106 | 103 | 114 |
| 9 (Pre-Collegiate) | 2.5 - 2.99 | 90 | 84 | 96 |
| 10 (Collegiate) | 3.0 or higher | 106 | 103 | 114 |
| 10 (Pre-Collegiate) | 2.5 - 2.99 | 90 | 84 | 96 |
