What CL Measures
CL is the gateway to administrative, finance, and personnel MOS. It uses the same formula as GT — so if you've been studying for GT, you've been studying for CL. The required minimums for CL jobs tend to be in the 90–95 range, making it more accessible than GT jobs that require 107+.
Admin and finance jobs demand clear communication and numerical accuracy. VE (verbal expression) ensures you can read and write instructions correctly. AR ensures you can handle calculations — leave balances, pay records, budget figures — without making arithmetic errors.
