The proposed legislation, known as the "Standardized Testing Choice Act," mandates that each public school district and open-enrollment public charter school in Arkansas provide students with the opportunity to take specific standardized assessments. For students in grades nine and ten, the options include the PreACT exam, the CLT10, or the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. For students in grades eleven and twelve, the Classic Learning Test (CLT) must be offered as an alternative or in addition to the ACT test, which is part of the Universal ACT Assessment Program.

Additionally, the bill requires that state-supported institutions of higher education accept the CLT as a valid assessment for college admissions, alongside the ACT and SAT. This change aims to broaden the options available to students for college admission assessments, thereby promoting educational choice and accessibility. The bill introduces new definitions and requirements related to the CLT and its acceptance in the college admissions process.
