Unlike other tests that change according to educational trend s and legislative actions, CLT assessments are based on enduring concepts that stand the test of time and are accessible to students from a variety of educational backgrounds.  \nOur Purpose  \nCLT’s goal is to create meaningful summative assessments that provide an opportunity for students in Grades 7 and 8 to think more deeply about great ideas inspired by literature, scholars, artists, scientists, and mathematicians. We do so by connecting the test content on our CLT7 and CLT8 exams directly to the classroom and encouraging curiosity about what is true, what is good, and what is beautiful.  \n4  \n\"For the sole true end of education is simply this: to teach men how to learnfor themselves; and whatever instruction fails to do this is e fort spent in vain. \"  \nDorothy L. Sayers   \nNote on the CLT7  \nFollowing the creation of the CLT3-6 and the CLT8, the CLT7 was created to meet the need for a meaningful assessment that asks students to think deeply about classical texts as well as complex ideas within mathematical reasoning and logic. While taking the CLT6 or the CLT8 could be an option for students in the 7th grade, CLT saw the demand to create another exam to fill the gap in our summative suite of lower grade assessments. With the addition of the CLT7, the CLT lower grade assessments are an accurate method to track the growth of a student throughout elementary and middle school.  \nThe CLT7 was built using CLT8 items that are suitable for 7th grade students. Using easier questions from the CLT8 item bank allows the CLT7 to fit into the ascending scale of the Assessments for Grades 3-8 suite. Additionally, the CLT7 uses a combination of subdomains from the CLT3-6 and the CLT8 . These questions are then split into three levels of difficulty within the CLT7: Level 1 (Easy), Level 2 (Moderate), and Level 3 (Advanced) . The skills measured by the CLT7 and CLT8 are outlined in the Content Distinctives below.  \nLike the CLT8, the CLT7 contains three sections:  \n Verbal Reasoning  \n Textual comprehension and textual analysis  \n Grammar/Writing  \n Grammatical editing and improvement  \n Quantitative Reasoning  \n Logic and mathematics  \nThe Verbal Reasoning section of the CLT7 includes identical domains, subdomains, and question types as the CLT8 while using questions with a lower difficulty level. Furthermore, the CLT3-8 were linked to the Lexile® Framework for Reading and the Quantile® Framework for Mathematics through a linking study conducted with MetaMet","cbCaismsvYgkk7Sl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaismsvYgkk7Sl","pdf",8012794,24,"English","# Our Mission\n## Our Purpose\n# Note on the CLT7\n## CLT7 design and levels\n# Overview of the CLT7-8 Assessment Suite\n## Verbal Reasoning\n## Grammar/Writing\n## Quantitative Reasoning","[{\"question\":\"What is the mission and purpose of the CLT assessments?\",\"answer\":\"The CLT assessments aim to reconnect knowledge and virtue by providing meaningful assessment and connections to learners.
