PERT Skills Review Resources

The Academic Success Center's (ASC) Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (PERT) Skills Review Resources are provided to help students review concepts in mathematics, reading, and writing.

Students should take time to study these concepts and skill areas before retaking the PERT.

What are the ASC's PERT Skills Review Resources?

The ASC's resources are intended to help students prepare to retake the PERT and gauge their current abilities. They are not intended to teach students or train them to get the best scores on the PERT so they can enroll in college-level courses and bypass developmental courses. 

The resources below provide a supplemental review of the skills introduced in the subtest packets. Before using them, students must purchase the subtest packets from a Seminole State bookstore.
