The College-Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST), mandated by state law, is part of Florida's system of educational accountability. The CLAST is an achievement test measuring students' college-level communication and mathematics skills as identified by faculties of community colleges and state universities. Since August 1, 1984 students in public institutions in Florida have been required to have CLAST scores that satisfy state standards for the award of an associate in arts degree and for admission to upper division status in a state university in Florida. In addition, students in private schools may need CLAST scores to receive state financial aid. The CLAST consists of essay, English language skills, reading, and mathematics tests. Test development is traced, and the test itself is described, along with scoring and administration information. Summary data are presented for first-time takers in 1993-94 classified by race/ethnicity and gender, as well as college status. Fifty-three percent of students passed the CLAST in June 1994. Fourteen tables present test data for the 1993-94 school year. Six appendixes describe the test in greater detail and list College-Level Academic Skills Project (CLASP) and state-level task force members, 1993-94. (Contains 15 references.) (SLD)
