1. Read the passage: The pier lights at Harlan Cove stay on until the last fishing boat is in. On Tuesday, Dena stood at the end of the dock for an hour after sunset, her coffee going cold, watching the dark water. When a small green light finally rounded the point, she let out a long breath, picked up the cup and walked back toward her car. Which inference is best supported by the passage?
- A. Dena works as an inspector for the pier.
- B. Dena dislikes being outside after dark.
- C. Dena was waiting anxiously for a particular boat to return.
- D. The pier lights went out before the boat arrived.
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: C. Dena was waiting anxiously for a particular boat to return.
She waits an hour in the dark, and she breathes out and leaves only once the green light appears, so she was worried about a boat and relieved when it came in. Nothing in the passage gives her a job, and the lights are said to stay on until the last boat is in.
2. Read the sentence: The mayor's reply was evasive; she answered each question with another question and never mentioned the budget. As used in the sentence, evasive most nearly means
- A. avoiding a direct answer
- B. completely honest
- C. full of detailed numbers
- D. angry and loud
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. avoiding a direct answer
The words after the semicolon explain the word: she answered questions with questions and skipped the budget, which is dodging. Put your choice back into the sentence to test it. A reply that was honest or full of numbers would not fit the details that follow.
3. Read the passage: Many people believe that bats are blind. In fact, every species of bat can see, and some see quite well in dim light. The myth probably comes from echolocation, the way many bats use sound to find insects in complete darkness. Bats simply use their ears and their eyes together. What is the author's main purpose in writing this passage?
- A. To persuade readers to build bat houses
- B. To entertain readers with a story about one bat
- C. To explain how scientists study echolocation
- D. To correct a common misunderstanding
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: D. To correct a common misunderstanding
The passage opens with a false belief, says what is true instead and explains where the belief came from, which is what correcting a misunderstanding looks like. It asks readers to do nothing, tells no story and says nothing about how scientists run their studies.
4. Read the statements about a city's bus service. Which statements are facts, meaning they can be checked, whether or not they turn out to be true? Select all that apply.
Vælg alle, der passer.
- A. The city raised bus fares in January.
- B. Ridership fell 12 percent in the three months after the increase.
- C. The fare increase was an unfair burden on working families.
- D. Buses are a better way to travel than driving.
- E. The council made the right choice by delaying the vote.
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. The city raised bus fares in January., B. Ridership fell 12 percent in the three months after the increase.
A fact is something you could confirm from a record, like the date of a fare increase or a ridership count. The other three are judgments: unfair, better and right depend on what a person values. A fact can still be wrong, so ask whether a statement can be checked, not whether you agree with it.
5. Read the passage: The new stadium was supposed to be a triumph. Instead, the roof leaks, the seats are too narrow for most adults, and the parking lot floods whenever it drizzles. The city spent three years and a fortune on a building that, so far, mainly shelters pigeons. Which word best describes the tone of the passage?
- A. admiring
- B. mocking
- C. puzzled
- D. neutral
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. mocking
The writer lists failures and then ends on a joke at the city's expense, that the building mostly shelters pigeons. That is a critical, mocking tone. An admiring or neutral tone would not pile up complaints, and the writer is not asking a question, so puzzled does not fit.
6. Which sentence is written correctly?
- A. Walking to the lab, the rain soaked Priya's notes.
- B. Walking to the lab, Priya's notes were soaked by the rain.
- C. Walking to the lab, Priya felt the rain soak her notes.
- D. The rain soaked Priya's notes, walking to the lab.
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: C. Walking to the lab, Priya felt the rain soak her notes.
An opening phrase like walking to the lab has to be followed by the person who is walking. In the correct choice that person is Priya. In the others the phrase seems to describe the rain or the notes, which cannot walk, and the last choice leaves the phrase dangling at the end.
7. Complete the sentence so the verb tenses stay consistent.
When the storm hit last night, the neighbors _____ their cars into the garage, and the power _____ out soon after.
Muligheder for felt 1: move, moved, have moved, will move
Muligheder for felt 2: goes, went, has gone, going
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: moved, went
Last night puts the whole sentence in the past, so both verbs need the simple past: moved and went. Shifting into the present or the future partway through a sentence is one of the shifts the PERT writing test asks you to catch.
8. Choose the answer that best completes the sentence: The new position requires working independently, meeting deadlines and ____ with customers.
- A. to communicate
- B. communication skills
- C. communicate
- D. communicating
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: D. communicating
Items in a list should have the same form. Working and meeting end in -ing, so the third item should too: communicating. To communicate, communicate and communication skills each break the pattern.
9. Choose the word that best completes the sentence: Of the two applicants, Rosa is the ____ qualified.
- A. most
- B. more
- C. mostly
- D. very
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. more
Compare two people with the comparative, more, and save the superlative, most, for three or more. Mostly is an adverb meaning mainly, and very does not compare anything. The phrase of the two is the clue to look for.
10. Which of these sentences use the correct word? Select all that apply.
Vælg alle, der passer.
- A. The weather will affect how many people attend the festival.
- B. Their going to announce the winner at noon.
- C. The dog wagged its tail when we came home.
- D. Please put the boxes over their by the door.
- E. The new policy had a strong effect on sales.
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. The weather will affect how many people attend the festival., C. The dog wagged its tail when we came home., E. The new policy had a strong effect on sales.
Affect is the verb and effect is the noun, so the first and last are right, and its without an apostrophe is the possessive. The second sentence needs they're, short for they are, and the fourth needs there, meaning in that place. Say the sentence with the full words to test it.
11. Solve for x: 4(x + 2) - 3 = 2x + 11
- A. x = 3
- B. x = -3
- C. x = 4
- D. x = 8
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. x = 3
Distribute the 4 to get 4x + 8 - 3 = 2x + 11, which simplifies to 4x + 5 = 2x + 11. Subtract 2x and 5 from both sides to get 2x = 6, so x = 3. Check by putting 3 back in: 4(3 + 2) - 3 is 17, and 2(3) + 11 is also 17.
12. Evaluate the expressions when a = 3 and b = -2.
The value of 4a - b^2 is _____, and the value of a^2 b is _____.
Muligheder for felt 1: 8, 16, -4, 20
Muligheder for felt 2: 18, -18, -6, 36
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: 8, -18
The exponent applies to b alone before anything is subtracted: b^2 is (-2)^2 = 4, so 4a - b^2 is 12 - 4 = 8. For the second, a^2 is 9 and 9 times -2 is -18. Treating b^2 as -4 gives 16, and dropping the negative sign on b in the second one gives 18.
13. Which ordered pair is the solution of both y = 2x - 1 and x + y = 8?
- A. (2, 6)
- B. (5, 3)
- C. (3, 5)
- D. (7, 1)
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: C. (3, 5)
Substitute 2x - 1 for y in the second equation: x + 2x - 1 = 8, so 3x = 9 and x = 3, and then y = 2(3) - 1 = 5. All four pairs add up to 8, so they satisfy the second equation, but only (3, 5) also fits the first.
14. Which values of x make the equation x^2 - x - 12 = 0 true? Select all that apply.
Vælg alle, der passer.
- A. -4
- B. -3
- C. 3
- D. 4
- E. 12
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. -3, D. 4
Factor the left side into (x - 4)(x + 3). Each factor can be zero, so x = 4 or x = -3. Check -4 and 3 and you get 8 and -6 instead of 0, which is what happens when the signs in the factors are swapped.
15. Complete the product.
(2x + 3)(x - 5) = 2x^2 _____ 15
Muligheder for felt 1: - 7x -, + 7x -, - 13x -, - 7x +
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: - 7x -
Multiply every term by every term: 2x times x is 2x^2, 2x times -5 is -10x, 3 times x is 3x and 3 times -5 is -15. The two x terms combine to -7x, so the answer is 2x^2 - 7x - 15. Treating the 3x as -3x leads to the wrong total, 13x.
Hvad PERT er, og hvem der skal tage den
Postsecondary Education Readiness Test, eller PERT, er Floridas placeringsprøve til college. Skolerne i Florida College System bruger den til at afgøre, hvilke kurser en ny studerende starter på, for eksempel Freshman Composition (ENC 1101), Intermediate Algebra (MAT 1033) eller College Algebra (MAC 1105). Det er ikke en bestå/dumpe-prøve, og den tæller ikke med i et karaktergennemsnit. En lav score kan betyde, at du først skal på et forberedende kursus, ikke at du bliver afvist.
Der er tre separate prøver: matematik, læsning og skrivning. Hver af dem er computeradaptiv, så spørgsmålene bliver sværere eller lettere ud fra dine tidligere svar, og hver af dem er uden tidsgrænse. Florida Department of Education beskriver 25 scorede spørgsmål per prøve plus 5 yderligere, der bliver afprøvet og ikke tæller, og du kan ikke se, hvilke der er hvilke. Du kan ikke gå tilbage og ændre et svar, når du er gået videre, og du får dine scorer lige efter, du har afleveret. Matematikprøven har en lommeregner på skærmen til nogle spørgsmål, ikke en almindelig, så spørg dit testcenter, hvad du må tage med.
Ikke alle skal tage den. Ifølge Floridas lovgivning skal en studerende, der begyndte i 9. klasse på en offentlig skole i Florida i skoleåret 2003-04 eller senere og fik et standard-high school-eksamensbevis fra Florida, eller som er i aktiv militærtjeneste, ikke tage en placeringsprøve. Studerende fra high schools uden for Florida eller private high schools, hjemmeundervist og studerende med en GED skal som regel, og colleges kan i stedet acceptere andre mål som SAT- eller ACT-scorer. Delstaten angiver en standard for college-niveau på 106 i læsning, 103 i skrivning og 114 i matematik på sin placeringsside, men de tal fastsættes ved regulering og har ændret sig før, så tjek dem hos testcenteret på dit college, før du bygger på dem.
Sådan bruger du smagsprøven
De 15 spørgsmål følger PERT's offentliggjorte liste over færdigheder i miniature. Spørgsmål 1 til 5 er læsning: en slutning, et ord i sammenhæng, forfatterens formål, adskillelse af fakta og meninger samt tonen. Spørgsmål 6 til 10 er skrivning: modifikatorer, tid på verber, parallel opbygning, komparativer og ord, der ofte forveksles. Spørgsmål 11 til 15 er algebra: at løse en ligning, at beregne et udtryk, to ligninger med to ubekendte, faktorisering og multiplikation af polynomier.
Formaterne vælg alle der passer og udfyld det tomme felt er øveformater, der får dig til at tjekke hver mulighed i stedet for at stoppe ved den første, der ser rigtig ud. På den rigtige prøve besvarer du ét spørgsmål ad gangen og kan ikke vende tilbage til det, så træn den samme vane: læs hele spørgsmålet, bestem dig for et svar og gå videre. Regn på papir først, og tjek så svarmulighederne.
Læs så hver forklaring, også til de spørgsmål, du svarede rigtigt på. Hvis begge spørgsmål om verbernes tid og modifikatorer gik galt, er det én grammatisk vane, du skal rette før skriveprøven, ikke to enkeltstående fejl. Hvis algebraspørgsmålene gik langsomt, så regn dem igen i hånden, til trinene sidder i fingrene.
En ærlig bemærkning: StudyPDF-teamet har skrevet hvert spørgsmål her efter den liste over færdigheder, delstaten offentliggør. Ingen af dem er rigtige PERT-opgaver, ingen kommer fra den officielle studievejledning eller en testudviklers spørgsmålsbank, og StudyPDF er ikke tilknyttet Florida Department of Education, McCann Associates eller noget college i Florida. Den officielle studievejledning, som indeholder eksempelspørgsmål med facit, er gratis på Department of Educations PERT-side.
Sådan bygger du flere øveprøver ud fra dit eget materiale
Femten spørgsmål kan vise dig, om læsning, skrivning eller algebra kræver mest arbejde. De kan ikke gøre dig klar alene, især ikke når dit testcenter eller dit første kursus lægger mere vægt på ét fag end på de andre.
StudyPDF tager i stedet udgangspunkt i dit materiale. Upload din forberedelsesbog, dine noter fra timerne eller de arbejdsark, du har fået af din vejleder eller din high school. Tryk derefter på Nyt materiale, vælg en øveprøve, vælg de filer som kilder, og bestem, hvor lang den skal være. Du får en prøve skrevet ud fra præcis de sider, og hver forklaring henviser til, hvor svaret kommer fra.
Bo er tutoren til resten. Spørg ham, hvorfor et svar er rigtigt, så forklarer han det ud fra dine egne sider, med et hint først, hvis du vil have et.
Du behøver ikke uploade noget for at komme i gang. Nævn i stedet et emne, for eksempel faktorisering af trinomier eller kongruens mellem pronomen og det, det henviser til, så får du øvespørgsmål om det. Det er gratis at starte.
