The Classic Learning Test (or CLT) is a standardized test developed by Classic Learning Initiatives. Designed as an alternative to other standardized tests such as the SAT and ACT,[1] the test is heavily based in Western culture[2] and was “devised to follow the great classical and Christian tradition”,[3] according to CLI. The CLT was created in 2015 by Jeremy Tate and is based in Annapolis, Maryland.

The exam is conducted online, taking approximately two hours to complete, and normally issues same-day test scores; scores are calculated out of 120. Two preparatory exams are also offered: the CLT10, designed for high school freshmen and sophomores, and the CLT8, for seventh and eighth-grade students. CLT10 scores have been indexed to PSAT scores, though the highest range of CLT10 scores exceeds the equivalent of a 1600 on the PSAT.[4][5]

Schools accepting CLT scores

As of April 2023, 5% of the 3,931 colleges and universities in the United States[6] accept CLT scores.

The CLT is accepted by a little more than 200 colleges and universities across the United States. These schools tend to be private, Liberal Arts or faith-based colleges. Many are evangelical and Catholic schools.[3][7]
