FYI CLT Testing Available

With the effects of the pandemic being as complex as they are, many parents around the country are concerned and are wondering if their students will be falling behind in college readiness. One aspect of this is the recent cancellation or postponement of standardized tests such as the ACT and SAT. While some colleges and universities are waiving the need for scores, this issue is still concerning given the current system of competitive college admissions.
Thankfully, the CLT (Classical Learning Test) stands in the unique position of being the only standardized test for scholarship and college admissions that can be taken between now and (God willing) June. Due to this current reality, we would like to make you aware of a few things:

•  There is a free webinar on April 7th at 4:00 – 5:00 pm on “How the CLT can help you right now.”  Jeremy Tate, the CEO and Founder of the Classic Learning Test will be hosting this webinar that you can register for at https://www.circeinstitute.org/store/events/free-how-clt-can-help-you-right-now-webinar
•  A list of colleges, by region, that currently have partnered with the CLT (offer millions of dollars in admission scholarships) can be found at https://www.cltexam.com/colleges and here https://www.cltexam.com/scholarships

 The CLT (for college admissions) is offered AT HOME and ONLINE with scores available the next business day: 

• Apr 25, 2020 (Deadline – Apr 21)
• Jun 20, 2020 (Deadline – Jun 16

11th graders should consider taking one or both of these tests in preparation for college admissions next year.  You can create an account here https://www.cltexam.com/register to familiarize yourself with the CLT, practice, and register for upcoming tests.You can also see how the CLT compares to the SAT and ACT here at  https://www.cltexam.com/comparison

• The CLT10 will be offered on APRIL 29th at home.  This test is for all 9th and 10th graders. Students that take this test are preparing for PSAT, SAT, ACT, CLT and may potentially gain a $2500.00 scholarship from the CLT to a partner college of their choice.  You can find more information about this test here https://www.cltexam.com/products/clt10, and the $2500.00 in scholarships here https://www.cltexam.com/scholarships

• Mr. Tobin and Mr. Councell (two teachers at Holy Trinity Classical Christian School) will be offering test training online at a discounted rate prior to the tests at the end of this month.  For more information about this opportunity, please click here CLT and CLT10 Prep Course
