Some say the Classic Learning Test hasn’t done enough to show it’s ready for high-stakes use in college admissions
For the first time, applicants to the University of Florida and numerous other public universities in the state can send a score from the Classic Learning Test instead of the ACT or SAT. As Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis attacks “woke” ideology and trumpets “classical education,” allies of the Republican presidential candidate have elevated a little-known college admission exam that frequently draws on ancient Greek and Roman texts and other passages from the Western canon.
Launched in 2015, the test takes about two hours and covers three sections: quantitative reasoning ; verbal reasoning; and grammar and writing. The ACT and SAT also cover reading, grammar and math.The CLT’s most distinctive feature is an author list with more than 150 names, mostly from the Western intellectual tradition. These range from the Greek philosopher Aristotle and medieval Christian thinker St. Thomas Aquinas to modern writers such as “The Lord of the Rings” author J.R.R.
A key question about the CLT is whether admissions officers, students and parents understand and trust what its scores mean. The CLT’s website publishes charts comparing its scale to. According to these charts, a score of 100 on the CLT corresponds to a 1390 on the SAT and a 31 on the ACT. Tyler defended the company’s analysis of CLT and SAT scores as rigorous. He acknowledged that there was no formal study to link CLT to ACT scores, but he said it was legitimate for the company to provide the CLT-to-ACT chart “for the convenience” of those who are interested.
Priscilla Rodriguez, senior vice president for college readiness assessments at the College Board, said the organization in these meetings has spelled out steps needed for a valid concordance. “CLT to this point has not moved that conversation forward,” Rodriguez said.
