SAT & ACT Education Services

Taking courses and practice exams is a great way to learn which areas you should target and improve on in math, reading, and writing. There are a variety of companies that provide services for the students in your area. St. Michael's does not endorse one service company over the other.

Did you know that a new college entrance exam has been developed? The Classic Learning Test evaluates students’ reading, writing, and math skills while also asking them to analyze selections from classic works. We asked the team at CLT to provide a blog post sharing more about the exam with our readers.

Classic Learning Initiatives

“Move over, 1600...120 is the new perfect for a college entrance exam.” The Classic Learning Test (CLT) is generating enthusiasm from students, parents, high school educators, and college professors alike. The CLT joins a larger initiative to reconnect intellectual pursuit and virtue. Already accepted by eighteen schools including St. John’s College, Patrick Henry College, New Saint Andrews College, and Thomas Aquinas College, the CLT will help colleges identify those students who are prepared to read and analyze complex works—including the ethical dimensions of those works—and to study college-level mathematics.

​

The Classic Learning Test includes three sections testing verbal reasoning, grammar/writing, and quantitative reasoning. The CLT is unique among college entrance exams in that it invites students to wrestle with works of the greatest minds in the history of Western thought. These works include authors from Plato and Augustine to the Founding Fathers, C.S. Lewis, and Martin Luther King, Jr. In considering these works, students explore ethical questions in addition to questions on reading comprehension and writing. The quantitative reasoning section assesses students’ logical reasoning abilities and preparedness for college-level mathematics.

​

“Will this be on the test?” The teacher can now answer that yes, engaging material from the Western tradition will be on the test. Yes, moral reasoning will help students understand CLT reading selections from C.S. Lewis or Martin Luther King, Jr. Yes, logic and reasoning will be on the test. Students already studying that which is good, true, and beautiful will be well prepared for the exam. The test will reinforce the connection between knowledge and virtue. And no, Common Core materials will not be on the test.  

​

The CLT has been subjected to rigorous beta testing. Dr. Brian Ray of the National Home Education Research Institute has completed a highly successful phase I of a three-phase analysis. The CLT has also entered into a partnership with Home School Legal Defense Association and has been endorsed by the Association of Classical & Christian Schools. The recent inaugural administration of the CLT will be followed by five testing dates during the 2017–2018 school year. Registration is now open for the September 17th CLT! For more information, to register, or to try your hand at a practice exam, visit www.CLTexam.com.
