CLT Testing for Grades 3-8

Are you looking for a standardized testing option for grades 3-8? The makers of the Classical Learning Test now offer at-home online testing.

What Do CLT3-8 Exams Assess?

CLT3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8 assess reading, writing, grammar, and mathematics corresponding to each grade level.

We’ve intentionally selected reading passages from classic children’s literature, poetry, historical fiction and non-fiction, and more to furnish a thoughtful and meaningful testing experience.

How Are the Exams Formatted?

CLT3, 4, 5 & 6 each have four sections: two Verbal Reasoning sections and two Quantitative Reasoning sections. CLT3-6 have recommended timing, and sections can be administered over the course of several days.

CLT7 & CLT8 each have three sections: Verbal Reasoning, Grammar & Writing, and Quantitative Reasoning. These exams are timed and must be completed in one sitting.

How Do CLT3-8 Analytics Equip Parents?

All exams are accompanied by in-depth analytics reports that provide tangible feedback on students’ strengths and weaknesses in key academic domains and subdomains. This helps parents track growth and adapt instruction as needed.

Features of analytics include:

  • Emphasis on the essentials (reading, writing, reasoning)
  • Straightforward organization and readability
  • Accessible content standards to see what was assessed
  • Percentile reports, including Lexile® and Quantile® scores
  • Best questions to ask about curriculum and instruction

Testing Window: April 20 – June 26

Registration Ends June 18
