Florida’s public universities will now permit the Classic Learning Test in admissions, offering a conservative-backed alternative to the SAT and ACT. Florida is now the first state university system in the country to allow for the Classic Learning Test (CLT), which has gained recent popularity among the state’s Christian and charter schools.
The classical education model — not to be confused with “classics” or “classical humanities” — focuses on a return to “core values” and the “centrality of the Western tradition.” The Florida state university system’s board of governors on Friday approved the test for use in undergraduate admissions.

I don't understand how this is a "Christian SAT" other than than that it's popular with Christian schools.
They are eliminating anything that they consider "woke" or liberal from the curriculum. The whole point of this is Christian indoctrination. Remember, in the long run we win.
But how is the CLT known as the "Christian SAT" other than that it's used by Christian Schools?
I don't see how adding another option is Christian Indoctrination unless said option itself is religious which nothing on the test or website is as far as I can tell.
Yeah, from what I can tell, it largely relies on classic literature for its passages instead of coming up with new passages, but otherwise it's very similar.
I think it's great to have another option for students to take. I took the ACT and SAT and got a similar score for each, but if the CLT does a better job at measuring something a student is good at, maybe it could help them get into a program they want.
I don't see anything Christian about it, other than that many private schools are backed by a Christian denomination, and it's much easier for a private school to change acceptance criteria than a public school.
