CLT FAQs
What is a good CLT score?
How is it calculated?
The CLT is scored on a scale from 0 to 120, with each of the 120 questions earning 1 point for a correct answer.
A “good” score depends on your goals—competitive colleges typically look for scores above 90, while top-tier schools may expect scores in the 100+ range.
When will I get my CLT results?
If you take the Digital CLT, you can expect your results in about one week.
For students who choose the paper version, results usually take around a month to be processed and released.
Which colleges accept the CLT?
Over 280 colleges across the U.S. accept CLT scores.
While most are private institutions, it's worth noting that every public university in Florida also accepts the CLT, making it a strong alternative to the SAT or ACT.
How can I use the CLT in Florida?
The CLT is accepted at every public university in Florida.
School districts across the state are also using CLT scores to help students meet graduation requirements, qualify for scholarships, and apply to in-state colleges with confidence.
When can I take the CLT?
The CLT is offered monthly.
If you're registering for a digital CLT, be sure to sign up about a week in advance.
If you prefer the paper-based option, plan to register a month or more ahead (and speak to your school's testing coordinator to arrange this).
