[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Florida’s public university system on Friday voted to approve the Classic Learning Test (CLT), a college entrance exam, making it the first state to accept an alternative to the SAT.

Backed by Christian schools and conservative political groups, the CLT was first introduced in December 2015 and is currently accepted by over 250 American colleges and universities, according to its website. The $59 online test consists of a three-section, two-hour exam that assesses verbal reasoning, grammar and writing as well as quantitative reasoning.

Students will also have the ability to view their scores the same day they complete the test.

“The CLT places a strong emphasis on classical education, which includes a focus on reading, writing, and critical thinking skills,” Ray Rodrigues, Chancellor of the State University System of Florida, said in a statement, as reported by Reuters. “It is designed to align with a classical liberal arts curriculum, which some educators and institutions believe provides a more well-rounded and meaningful education.”

Those seeking entry to Florida’s 12 public universities will now be able apply with an ACT, SAT or CLT score. Applicants hoping to qualify for the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program, a lottery-funded scholarship that honors Florida high school graduates for high academic achievement, may also submit CLT test scores.

"The $59 online test consists of a three-section, two-hour exam that assesses verbal reasoning, grammar and writing as well as quantitative reasoning." -- sounds a million times better than whatever DC and other states are doing?

OP, perhaps you should have your FDS checked by a pro?[/quote]
