The Texas A & M Public Policy Research Institute conducted the review of college entrance exams, warning that the three tests were not “equally ready, equally comparable, or equally defensible.” The difference was especially stark when examining how well each test’s scores could predict students’ college performance, according to the report. The CLT submitted evidence covering 259 students at five private Texas universities, while the College Board submitted data covering more than 117,000 students at 14 public universities. The commissioner wrote that the review found all three tests “are of sufficient rigor and reliability” for use in college admissions in the state. That state accepts CLT scores in admission decisions at all of its 12 public universities.
