Retakes are available, although there isn’t a consistent policy across the state of Florida for this test. For high school students, each school district determines a student’s ability to retake the test. For college-age students, each school has a different policy. While there are some schools that allow for a retake after 24 hours, most require a 30-day waiting period, and many require proof that the student has taken a remediation course before they allow a second test.  For your convenience, here are two school policies: 1. Miami Dade College “MDC students have a total of two placement test attempts (one initial attempt and one retest) on each subtest of the placement test for initial placement prior to enrollment in any course within that subject area. Prior to the 2nd attempt, students must complete a test preparation option. After the 2nd attempt, students must complete a prescribed remediation option and receive permission to retest from the Developmental Education and/or Mathematics Chairperson. Successful completion of Boot Camp (Shark Academy) courses REA 0014 – Reading, EDU 0016 – Mathematics, or EDU 0017 – Writing may be used in lieu of receiving chairperson permission.”  2. Broward College “Students may retake the PERT an unlimited number of times. However, they must adhere to the following retesting timeline: – First retest attempt may be taken after 24 hours. – All other retest attempts must wait 30 days between each retest attempt.  Remediation prior to each test attempt is strongly encouraged.
