We recommend walking your student through the CLT demo prior to taking the official test. This abbreviated demo test allows testers and proctors to experience the test format and interface before the actual exam. This is an unscored test that contains only 10 questions per section; it is not intended to serve as a full practice test. Additionally, the question difficulty level reflects CLT's third-grade test, the CLT3. Taking the Demo test also serves as a technical check to ensure the test can be accessed and functions as designed. Be sure to run through the Demo test on the device you will using on test day.

 

Access the Demo Test

First, close any unnecessary applications which might be open on the device used for testing and disable any parental control software. Ensure that the device is connected to a stable internet connection and power source and has a fully functional mouse and keyboard. We recommend accessing the Demo Test using a Chrome, Firefox or Safari browser.
