The College Level Academic Skills Requirement (CLASR) is designed to measure the communication and computation skills judged by Florida statutes and the State Board of Education as necessary for successful performance and progression through the baccalaureate level. Satisfaction is achieved through approved course work, and SAT/ACT test scores. There are four categories: essay, English language skills, reading and mathematics.
