Homeschool students deserve a test that respects their educational choice. CLT is not tied to any particular scope or sequence but instead assesses the main indicators of educational success like reading comprehension, writing conventions, and mathematical reasoning.

The CLT8 and CLT10, our standardized tests for 7th-10th grade students, satisfy testing requirements for homeschool families in most states.

“The CLT10 and CLT appear to be assessing learning that is more in line with the philosophies and methodologies we are using in our schooling, than some of the current schools of thought that are being promoted across the U.S. It is good to have options for testing, and I am glad that many universities are now willing to accept the CLT in addition to the SAT or ACT.”

Parent of a CLT10 Tester

I highly recommend the CLT8 both as baseline academic achievement test for home-educated students and their families, and as a test-taking experience on a nationally-normed test. I have convinced other homeschoolers to utilize the CLT as a test-taking platform, and to consider replacing the SAT/ACT college admission tests with the CLT and its pool of colleges. Keep up the excellent work!”
