Referred to the Committee on Armed Services, and in addition to the Committee on Education and Workforce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

Military academies would accept Classic Learning Test scores; some federal schools would require students to take it.

This bill would give applicants to military service academies another option for admission tests, allowing them to submit Classic Learning Test (CLT) scores. It would also require eleventh-grade students in schools run by the Department of Defense and the Bureau of Indian Education to take the CLT.

What Would Change

Today, military service academies are not required to accept the Classic Learning Test (CLT) for admission, and federally-run secondary schools are not required to administer it. If this bill becomes law, military service academies would be required to accept CLT scores alongside SAT and ACT scores, and federally-run secondary schools would be required to administer the CLT to eleventh-grade students.

Key Provisions
