CLT

The Classic Learning Test (CLT) is a standardized college entrance exam designed for students who prefer a rigorous, classically oriented alternative to the SAT or ACT. Rooted in classical texts and analytical thinking, the CLT assesses a student’s readiness for college-level work through reading, writing, and quantitative reasoning.

This exam is increasingly recognized by colleges and universities across the United States—especially among classical, liberal arts, and faith-based institutions.
