What You Need to Know about CLT Scores

The Basics of Scoring on the CLT

There are 120 questions. If you get a question right, you get a point.

If you get a question wrong you do not get the point (Note: there is NO additional penalty for getting a question wrong, so you should make sure you answer every question, even if you have to guess on some of them).

So, you can score a 1 or a 33 or a 75 or a 113, etc. on the CLT.

Every single question counts as a point. The CLT is scored on a range from 0-120.

What is a Good CLT Score?

Here's how you know if your CLT score is good enough:

‍Google "My Dream College average ACT Score" (ACT results are easier to find on Google).

Then, use the chart above to convert their average ACT score to a CLT score. Here's an example using Benedictine College: Their average ACT score is a 25. That's the same as an 85 on the CLT.

So, an 85 or 90 on the CLT is a pretty good score if you want to attend Benedictine.

Typically, you want to be at the average or slightly above the average ACT/CLT score for your dream college.

Florida CLT Passing Score

If you're a Florida student taking the CLT to graduate high school, here's what you need to do:

Get a combined 36 out of 80 on the Verbal Reasoning and Grammar / Writing sections.

Get an 11 out of 40 on the Quantitative Reasoning section.

That means if you get an 18 on Verbal Reasoning, an 18 on Grammar / Writing, and an 11

on Quantitative Reasoning, you pass!

Remember - the Verbal Reasoning and Grammar / Writing scores are combined. So you could also get a 16 on Verbal Reasoning and a 20 on Grammar / Writing (16 + 20 = 36) and pass!

How to Improve Your CLT Score

If you want to improve your CLT score, you need to do three things:

1. Unlock your Understanding of the Test
2. Master Frameworks for each section of the Test
3. Practice your New Approach

Here's what that means:

‍

Understanding the Test

The CLT is different than every other test you've taken.

We teach you how the test is different, strategies for the CLT because it's different,
and how to answer every question type on the test.

You can think of this section as the Tips, Tricks, and Strategy portion of the Study Guide.

‍

‍

Proven Frameworks

Learn how to pick the right answers faster, so you feel calm, confident, and ready to win on test day.

Here's an example of a framework you will learn that will help you on the CLT: "False or Irrelevant."

On the Verbal Reasoning section, every incorrect answer is either False or Irrelevant,
which means the incorrect answers either contradict the facts of the passage
or do not answer the question that is being asked.

These frameworks will help you answer every question on the CLT with confidence.

Practice

Finally, it's time to practice what you've learned.

In order to unlock your Money-Back Guarantee, take the practice tests
at the end of each section of the Study Guide (Verbal Reasoning, Grammar & Writing,
and Quantitative Reasoning) and the Full Length CLT Practice Test.

There are 360 total practice questions you MUST take to unlock your Money-Back Guarantee.
(That's 3 total CLT Practice tests - 2 of them are broken into bite-sized chunks, then one full-length test.)

Additionally, there are 2 Optional Full-length Practice Tests, if you would like more practice.
