College-Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST)

 Assessment Home | CLAST Home

Important News

Effective July 1, 2009, the College-Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST) will no longer be administered. Recent Florida legislation, Senate Bill 1676, repealed the use of the CLAST to measure the College-Level Academic Skills (CLAS) set and as a degree requirement for those undergraduates seeking associate in arts (AA), bachelor of arts (BA), or bachelor of science (BS) degree in Florida’s public colleges and universities.

All scores earned on the CLAST prior to July 1, 2009, will still be valid.

Students who still need to meet CLAS requirements after July 1, 2009, will still have opportunities other than the CLAST exam to do so. Please check your college’s or university’s Web site for more information on how to meet the CLAS requirements.

Computer-Adaptive Test (CAT ) Administrations

Examinees may request to take one or more of the multiple-choice subtests at one of the sites that offer the computer-adaptive version of the CLAST. (The essay subtest is not available via computer-adaptive testing) An advance payment may be required for each administration. (Consult test sites for fee amounts.) No subtest may be taken prior to 31 days after the examinee has attempted that subtest in a previous administration. The score for any subtest taken prior to 31 days from the previous administration of that subtest will not be reported and/or will be invalidated. A student wishing to participate in the CAT must request permission of the Institutional Test Administrator of his or her "home" institution (the institution at which the student is enrolled in a degree-seeking program). An original, completed certification of eligibility must be mailed to the CAT site administrator before the student may make an appointment for testing.
