What's on the Classic Learning Test

  • Verbal Reasoning
  • Grammar/Writing
  • Quantitative Reasoning

Why it's hard

The CLT's Verbal Reasoning passages lean on classical and historical texts that many students haven't seen — comprehension on dense 19th-century prose is the deciding skill.

How Fennie helps

Fennie pairs CLT-style passages with annotation prompts and grammar drills, building the close-reading habits the test demands.
