Florida is considering a ‘classical and Christian’ alternative to the SAT

Florida officials met with the founder of a test company that administers a test focused on “great classical and Christian tradition” as an alternative to the SAT and other college entrance exams, the Tampa Bay Tribune reported.

The move is the latest in Gov. Ron DeSantis’ feud with the College Board, a private company that administers advanced placement courses and the SAT exam, giving students headed to college a competitive edge over their peers.

According to the Tribune, top state officials have met with Jeremy Tate, who said the Classic Learning Test is mainly used by private schools and home-schooled students. The test, he said, focused on the “centrality of the Western tradition.”
