The Verbal Reasoning section measures a student’s ability to comprehend and analyze texts from literature, history, science, theology, and philosophy. The Grammar/Writing section measures a student’s ability to apply elements of grammatical mechanics and writing style to texts. The Quantitative Reasoning section measures a student’s ability to perform algebraic, geometric, and mathematical computations and to reason geometrically and mathematically. | | How can I use the Classic Learning Test? | CLT3-8 exams can be used as summative, end-of-year assessments.
