Testing and Assessment

Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (PERT) Scores

Dual Enrollment Applicants: Valencia College will retrieve PERT scores from a student’s school district as soon as they have applied to the Dual Enrollment program. No action is needed from the student for high school PERT scores.  

If a student has taken the PERT with Valencia College, there is no action needed by the student to submit PERT scores. 

Transfer Students: Valencia College will only accept valid PERT scores from previously enrolled institutions. Students may fill out the PERT Score Retrieval Form to request scores to be retrieved from the PERT repository. Students will need to include their full name, Valencia ID number (VID) and where they took the PERT. Note: PERT scores are not available in the PERT Repository immediately after testing. 

Sending PERT scores to a different school: If a student would like another Florida institution to receive their PERT scores, the student must ask the receiving institution to retrieve their scores from the Florida PERT Repository. If an institution does not have access to the PERT Repository, students can visit a Valencia College assessment center to retrieve a copy of their scores.
