PERT Scoring System

PERT Subtest Scoring System
Sections	Details
Reading	Test-takers who fail to score 106 or more on the PERT reading section may be asked to take a remedial reading course or take a developmental education. 106 is the cut score in order to register for a college-level Freshman Composition course or class.
Writing	Test-takers who are planning to take a college-level Freshman Composition class must be able to get a score of 103 in the PERT writing subtest in order to qualify successfully. The score is in addition to the minimum required score for the reading subtest.
Mathematics	Students who scored below 114 in the PERT math section are required to take remedial courses or developmental education. On the other hand, test-takers who were able to earn a score of 114 to 122 are eligible to enroll in a college-level math class such as Intermediate Algebra. For students who successfully scored 123 or above, their eligibility to take other math courses increases.
