CLT: An SAT\u00ae<\/sup> Alternative<\/h3>\n

The CLT<\/a> is a college entrance exam that can be taken online, lasts only 2 hours, and provides a better test experience than the SAT\u00ae. CLT scores are published within 3 weeks of taking the test and can be sent to an unlimited number of colleges. Hundreds of colleges also tie scholarships directly to your CLT score.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n \n\n \n
