About the CLT Suite of Assessments

The CLT is an online college entrance exam designed for 11th and 12th graders. This exam is remote proctored and taken at the student's home or proctored in-person at select test sites. The CLT takes approximately two hours to complete, and it assesses English, mathematical, and critical reasoning skills. Students receive their scores within 10 business days, and they can instantly share them with an unlimited number of colleges and universities for free.

The CLT10 is an online preparatory exam for the CLT designed for 9th and 10th graders. It can be proctored by a parent at home or taken in-school at participating institutions. The test takes approximately two hours to complete, and it assesses English, mathematical, and critical reasoning skills. There is also an optional, ungraded, thirty-minute essay portion. Students receive their scores the Tuesday following the exam and can share them with an unlimited number of colleges and universities for free. The CLT10 provides students with the opportunity for recognition and, for top scorers, a scholarship to a CLT partner college.

The CLT8 is an online diagnostic or end-of-grade assessment designed for 7th and 8th graders. It can be proctored by a parent at home or taken in-school at participating institutions. The test takes approximately two hours and fifteen minutes to complete, and it assesses English, mathematical, and critical reasoning skills. Students receive their scores the Tuesday following the exam.

The CLT3, 4, 5, and 6 are norm-referenced assessments for young learners in grades 3-6. Incorporating classic children’s literature, fables, poetry, historical non-fiction, and more, CLT3-6 engages students with great ideas and reflect a holistic education that emphasizes logic and reasoning skills. Each test contains four sections comprised of about 140 questions and takes between 2-3 hours to complete.
