CAE’s performance-based assessments uniquely measure 21st century success skills by placing students in grade-appropriate, real-world scenarios. These assessments require students to apply knowledge and produce a response from the information provided. There is no “right” answer; our assessments measure students’ ability to critically think, problem solve, and communicate.
Our research suggests that CLA+ is predictive of post-college outcomes as measured by employment, salary, and graduate program enrollments. Additionally, students with higher CLA+ scores were more likely to have higher employment performance ratings and merit-based rewards than those with lower CLA+ scores. Coupled with high school GPA, CLA scores act as a predictive indicator of cumulative college GPA for seniors.
