Announcements & Updates
In-School section timers
- It’s here! The test requires full proctoring, however, we are excited to announce that our in-school section timer will be in use for the CLT and CLT10 starting in September. The timer will be visible in the top right corner of the screen of your students’ screens. Proctors should keep track of time to ensure that their testing room progresses through the test at the same time and only distribute the next section access code when it is time for all students to start the next section. If you have any timer questions during the test please contact us immediately via our live test day chat at cltexam.com.
LockDown Browser
- Both In School and Remotely Proctored CLT and CLT10 exams must now be administered with LockDown Browser. Information on using LockDown Browser can be found on our Proctor Guide. For directions on how to launch LockDown Browser, see our guide here.
Start time window & simultaneous testing policy

- Students taking the Remotely Proctored CLT and CLT10 should take their exams between 7am and 7pm ET.
Test Day Anomaly Report
- Please submit a test day anomaly report within 24 hours of the test. Reports submitted later may not be processed prior to our post-test data analysis, so students with late-reported tech issues may be initially flagged and scores withheld. Individual test day anomaly reports should be submitted for the following types of issues:
- Different start time (late arrivals, etc.)
- Anything disruptive to standard test administration
- Technical difficulties
- Rules violations and other unfair advantages
- General test day anomaly reports are used to note any issues that affected timing or completion of the exam for an entire room or school (power outage, widespread internet issues, inclement weather, etc.)
