Scholarship. Ready to explore what sets the CLT apart? Let's get into it!


Understanding the CLT


What Sets the CLT Apart?

The CLT is more than just a test; it's a window into a world of reading, grammar, and

math for students in grades 3-12. This isn't your typical standardized test - it's a critical

thinking adventure, enriched with classic literature and historical texts. Think of it as a

brain workout with a touch of time travel!


A Closer Look at CLT's Components


1. Reading: A Journey Through Time and Thought

Imagine a reading section that merges the SSAT's reading and verbal elements with

historical and religious texts. It's not just reading; it's an expedition into the depths of

knowledge.


2. Grammar: Charting New Territories

This section might remind you of the SAT writing part, but with its own unique

challenges. It's a test of navigation skills, aligning questions with texts – think of it as a

literary treasure hunt.


3. Math: A Diverse Mathematical Tapestry

Here, you'll find a blend of SAT, ACT, SSAT, and HSPT elements. From sequences to

trigonometry, this section is a comprehensive test of your mathematical acumen.
