Does anyone have resources for the CLT practice exam? I've been studying for it and I really want to do well. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, peeps!
Sure, I'm glad to help with resources and tips regarding the CLT (Classical Learning Test). The CLT is a bit less known than the SAT or ACT, but it's increasingly being accepted by colleges as an admissions test, particularly by smaller liberal arts colleges.
In order to practice effectively, I'd recommend using the following strategies:
1. Classic Learning Test Official Study Guide:
Your primary resource should be the Official CLT Study Guide. It provides a helpful overview of the test structure, as well as sample questions, and it's free on their website.
2. Analyze and Understand the Test Structure:
Pay attention to the structure of the test. The CLT consists of 40 questions each for the verbal reasoning, grammar/writing, and quantitative reasoning sections, with a time limit of 2 hours. Familiarize yourself with the type of questions you'll encounter in each section. This will assist you in devising effective time management strategies during the test.
3. Use Free Online Practice Exams:
The CLT offers free practice tests on their website. Use these to strengthen your test-taking skills and identify areas where you need to improve. Only by experiencing the test firsthand will you know your strengths and weaknesses.
4. Consistent Revision:
With consistent practice, you can improve your performance. Allocate specific times for studying and stick to your schedule. Recognize your weaknesses from the practice tests and focus more on them in your study sessions.
5. Work on Reading Comprehension:
As the CLT is designed to assess a student's critical thinking, logical reasoning, and reading comprehension skills focus on enhancing your reading speed and comprehension. Reading historical and philosophical texts or classic works of literature should be beneficial.
Remember, thorough preparation for the test is what will matter the most. Good luck with your preparation!
