Relating to the consideration of an alternative assessment instrument score in undergraduate admissions at certain public institutions of higher education.

HB 3068 allows public Texas universities to consider scores from the Classic Learning Test (CLT) as an alternative to ACT or SAT scores for undergraduate admissions. Specifically, it adds a requirement that students may use a CLT score of at least 71 out of 120 (or equivalent) to meet the standardized test benchmark under existing admission rules. This directly affects high school graduates applying to Texas public institutions of higher education who choose to submit CLT scores instead of ACT/SAT results. The bill amends Education Code sections 51.803 and 51.805 to include this new assessment option while maintaining existing criteria like top 10% high school GPA.
