Testimonials

Suzanne J.

Homeschool Mom

“This is a great exam that tests thinking skills, not just memorization. I’m thrilled that you have made testing possible for students who aren’t enrolled in schools. I really think this is a great test and does a much better job of looking at critical thinking skills, etc., which are so important.”

Mercy K.

CLT Test Taker

“Every time I take any of the CLT tests, I become inspired and invigorated to search for meaningful and deeper knowledge, not so that I can know everything, but so that I become a better person in the process.”

Kathy Jones

Ascent Classical Academy of Douglas County (Lone Tree, CO)

“After organizing the administration of CMAS, PSAT, SAT, and CLT, the CLT was the easiest of the assessments to administer.”
