Here's a sample mini quiz for the latest university entrance exam, the CLT(Classic Learning Test), approved in Florida. It serves as an alternative to the SAT and the ACT. Are college-bounded students expected to pass the exam with high scores even if they enroll in a different and unrelated curriculum? After all, these exams measure students' ability to interpret given text, whether familiar or unfamiliar, with critical thinking and reading skills acquired throughout high school. If students' performance on the exam is heavily dependent on the content, then the lists in Bloom's Western Canon are some behemoths of readings to catch on, even for most avid readers. Does relevant content matter in terms of measuring a person's skill in the language by the examination?
