Testimonials
Mary C.
Homeschool Mom
“I choose the CLT8 for my students because of its superior content, ease of administering, and student analytics. Thank you for developing a test that measures my student’s progress in skill sets that are transferable to actual academic settings. So many of the other standardized tests just measure how well a student studied for that test. The CLT series of tests give a true picture of readiness for the next academic level.”

“It was helpful for me to keep in mind that CLT designs its exams to assess our knowledge, not our test-taking skills. This helped me not waste time overthinking an answer or worry about getting “tricked” by the question’s wording. Instead, I was able to focus my time on working carefully and even double-checking my work with any extra time I had.”
Nick Duncan
Headmaster of Highland Rim Academy (Cookeville, TN)
“The CLT has been a breath of fresh air for our school. It is comforting to know we use a standardized test that reinforces the virtue and concepts of truth, goodness, and beauty we strive to teach in the classroom”
