CLAST

The College-Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST) is Florida's own test for educational accountability as mandated in Section 1008.29 of the Florida Statues. It consists of four subtests: essay, English language skills (ELS), reading, and mathematics. Each subtest yields a single score that is reported to the student and to the institution needing the scores.

• Paper and pencil format
  • English Language Skills, Reading, and Math CLAST exams are available on computer in the Test Center in University Center C, Suite 1200.  Note: The essay portion of this exam is only offered in the paper-and-pencil format of the CLAST.
