CLAST: College Level Academic Skills Test. Test Administration Plan, 1985-86.
Florida State Dept. of Education, Tallahassee.
This test administration plan sets forth the terms and conditions which govern the administration of the College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST), an instrument designed to measure the achievement of the communication and computation skills expected of all students by the time they complete their sophomore year. CLAST scores are required of all Florida college students seeking an associate in arts degree or seeking upper-division status at a state university in Florida. After a review of changes and additions to the test administration plan, information is provided on the purpose, status, and effective date of the plan. The next sections present a description of the test, the testing schedule, and a statement explaining the responsibilities of various agencies and institutions for the administration of the CLAST. Next, information is offered on individuals' eligibility to take CLAST, the registration of examinees, and requests to take CLAST in an institution other than the one in which the student is enrolled or to which they are seeking admission. Guidelines are presented next for ordering test materials, administering the test, providing special testing conditions for handicapped examinees, scoring, reporting test results, verifying score reports, and recording CLAST scores. A description of standards for passing scores and information on the use of CLAST scores are followed by information on policies regarding student appeals, test retakes, alleged irregularities, and cancellation of scores. Appendices include a glossary, laws relating to CLAST, information on the College Level Academic Skills Project, and CLAST specifications. (EJV)
