Overview

RULE:

6A-10.0315

Demonstration of Readiness for College-Level Communication and Computation

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this rule amendment is to address revisions to Section 1008.30, Florida Statutes, as required by the passing of Senate Bill 1720 (effective July 1, 2013). The provisions of the bill include the requirement that the State Board of Education establish test scores a student must achieve to demonstrate readiness to perform college-level work and also specify the criteria by which a student is exempted from common placement testing and developmental education. In addition, the common placement test scores for the Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (P.E.R.T.) are being revised to reflect the recommendations resulting from standard setting. The ACT Reading score is also being recommended for change.  The phrase, “college preparatory” is replaced with “developmental education” to conform with statutory terminology and limitations on enrollment in developmental education courses are eliminated.

SUMMARY:

The proposed revisions will ensure the rule is aligned with Section 1008.30, Florida Statutes, and raise college readiness scores for the Postsecondary Education Readiness Test and the ACT Reading.
