CLT: An ACT\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 ACT\u00ae. CLT scores are published within 3 weeks of taking the test and can be sent to an unlimited number of colleges. Plus, hundreds of colleges tie scholarships directly to your CLT score.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n \n\n \n

Score Concordance Table<\/h3>\n

The following score concordance table shows how CLT scores compare to ACT\u00ae scores.<\/p>\n

The concordance relationship between the CLT and the ACT is derived from the CLT-SAT concordance<\/a> and the official concordance relationship between the SAT and the ACT as established by the College Board and ACT in 2018.<\/span><\/em>\u00a0<\/em>Some colleges have created their own concordance tables.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n
