Passing Scores

The passing scores for each subtest of the CLAST were established by the State Board of Education (SBE) through administrative rule 6A-10.0312, FAC. The original passing scores were proposed by the State-Level Panel on CLAST Standards and were recommended to the SBE by the Commissioner of Education. The passing scores were originally adopted on March 6, 1984, and have been amended several times. A student is required to meet the minimum standards in effect at the time he or she initially takes the test.

The passing scores are based on the score scale from the October 1982 administration of the CLAST. The passing scores for various time periods are as follows:


08/01/84 - 07/31/86
08/01/86 - 07/31/89
08/01/89 - 09/30/91
10/01/91 - 09/30/92
10/01/92 & thereafter

* In October 1991, the essay scoring scale was revised. A score of 5 on the revised scale is equivalent to a score of 4 on the former scale.

In 1995, the Florida Legislature modified the statutes to permit alternative ways for students to demonstrate their proficiency with the required college-level communication and computation skills. A description of the new provisions may be found in Section 1008.29, F.S. and Rule 6A-10.0311, FAC.
