Tricks for cracking CSET Exam


By: mark tait

The California Subject Examinations for Teachers® (CSET®) have been developed by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) for prospective teachers who choose to or are required to meet specific requirements for certification by taking examinations. The CTC contracted the Evaluation Systems group of Pearson to assist in the development, administration, and scoring of the CSET test.

The CSET Multiple Subjects Exam encompasses a broad range of challenging material, including Math, Science, History, Literature, Language Arts, Visual & Performing Arts, Humanities and Physical Education.  It's no wonder 80% of California Credential Candidates cite the CSET as the biggest obstacle on their path to success.

There is a lot of confusion surrounding studying for the CSET, and standardized tests in general. In our opinion, these are the 6 criteria you should always look for in a study guide for the CSET:

One: It must be written by writers who have painstakingly researched the topics and concepts needed to succeed on the CSET. The blind cannot hope to lead the blind.

Two: It must be written in easy-to-use everyday language so all test takers can access the information.

Three: It should be to-the-point, with no fluff to distract the test taker from the truly important information.

Four: It must address the test first, the material second. If the material was the only thing that was important, then every test taker that understood the material should get a perfect score- that doesn't happen because there's a difference between simply knowing what's on the test and test performance. You want a study guide to close that gap.

Five: It must motivate the test taker to actually study. If it's hard to read, studying is slow and painful, and will produce meager results.

Six: The guide must be guaranteed- if you don't pass with flying colors, you get your money back- no questions asked.

Whatever your subject, the CEOE is going to expect you to have memorized vast amounts of information. Some of that information you’ll know well because you use it every day. But much of the details that will turn up in the exam will be the sort of knowledge that will normally have you turning to the books to find the answers. This is where a good CEOE test study guide can really help.
