Texas Approves Classic Learning Test for Public College Admissions
In a July 23 letter to university chancellors and presidents, Commissioner of Higher Education Wynn Rosser informed them that institutions may consider the CLT as a factor when admitting students. “Institutions may currently consider standardized testing scores, including the CLT, as a factor in making admission decisions for first-time freshman who do not qualify for automatic admission pursuant to Texas Education Code, Section 51.803 and 51.804, international admissions, and returning students,” Rosser wrote. The two-hour online exam evaluates students in verbal reasoning, grammar and writing, and quantitative reasoning using classical literature and historical texts.
