Edison State College - PERT / Placement Testing Information

Edison State College uses the Post Secondary Education Readiness Test (PERT) as its entry Placement Test. It is used to determine placement in English, mathematics, and reading courses. Students can access a test guide with helpful resources and practice tests on the Edison web site @ http://www.edison.edu/assessment/PertStudyGuide.pdf.

Placement Testing Times & Schedule
Students must complete and turn in an application for admissions to the Office of the Registrar prior to testing. Processing time for applications is 24 hours.
Placement testing is required of all degree-seeking students, certificate-seeking students, high school students in Accelerated Programs, and Veterans. Non-degree-seeking students planning to take English, mathematics or foreign languages, must also be tested.
Students are required to take the College Placement Test (PERT) or submit a full set of ACT-E or SAT-R scores taken within the previous two years.
Students that have attended another college or university may bring in an official or unofficial transcript for evaluation.
The Placement Test is administered at all campuses and sites. Contact local campus for additional information.

Edison College Students who do not achieve the minimum scores on these tests, will be placed in, and required to satisfactorily complete, appropriate college preparatory instruction. "Florida State Board of Education Administrative Rule 6A-10.0315(20) mandates that students complete their remedial coursework by the time they have accumulated twelve (12) hours of college credit coursework or they must maintain continuous enrollment in college preparatory coursework each semester until the requirements are completed while performing satisfactorily in the degree earning coursework."
