Single Subject Exam Math Subtest III-Calculus/History prep classes will be held prior to the January 10, 2009 exam. View the schedule.

Do I need to take the CSET?

All California teachers must demonstrate subject matter competency to be compliant with the Federal No Child Left Behind Act, as well as for the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. Single Subject teachers can have a major in the subject area in which they teach or pass the CSET for that subject. Multiple Subject teachers hired on or after July 1, 2002 may prove subject matter competency only by passing the CSET.

A practice exam for the Multiple Subject CSET is available at www.cset.nesinc.com. Taking the practice exam will help to determine the areas in which you will need additional preparation.

Class sizes are limited. Please register promptly.
