The College-Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST) is given in the state of Florida as a qualification exam for an A.A. degree from a community college or state university and for admission to upper-division status in a state university or receipt of a bachelor’s degree. Barron’s newly revised CLAST test preparation manual presents an introduction to and an overview of the exam, and then offers extensive review in math, reading comprehension, English language skills, and essay writing, with extensive practice activities and exercises. The book concludes with two full-length practice tests with answers and explanations plus detailed advice for those taking the computer-adaptive CLAST.
