Choosing Your Test Date
Passing the CSET is one of the main ways prospective teachers meet the subject matter requirements for a California teaching credential. You generally need to pass the CSET before you can begin student teaching. Some teacher preparation programs also require you to pass the CSET before being admitted.
Begin by learning the deadline your school or employer has set. Then check the current CSET test dates and results release schedule. Choose a date that ensures your results will be available in time.
Make sure you allow time to retake the test if you don’t pass on your first attempt. You can retake the exam as many times as you need. However, be aware that if you’re taking the test on computer, there must be 45 calendar days between attempts.
Plan to take the exam as early as possible while still giving yourself enough time to prepare. To work out how much study time you need, view our free CSET Study Guide to see what content is covered on your exam. Then take our free CSET Practice Test to see how you’ll perform and identify any areas where you need to improve.
