CSET Test Dates

This page provides information to help you choose the right CSET Test Date for you.  There are a number of important factors to consider.

The first question most clients ask when choosing a CSET Test Date is “how long will I need to prepare?”  The answer depends, of course, on your current level of subject matter knowledge, as well as the amount of time each day you can dedicate to studying.  If you’d like to get a better idea of where you stand, we recommend taking our free online CSET Practice Test.

The next question to ask is whether you plan to take all sections of the test at once.  You may be able to take individual subtests separately and still receive the full time allotted, which for many test-takers can reduce stress surrounding the time element of the exam.  It also allows you to focus more study attention on certain subject areas prior to taking the exam.  However, the down-side to this approach is that you will need to allot more time to complete testing.

For many clients, success on the CSET is as simple as taking one of our CSET Prep Classes.  These full-day Prep Classes are designed to cover all the key concepts you’ll need to pass each subtest. 

Other clients choose to combine a prep class with several Private Tutoring sessions to concentrate on specific areas where they need help. 

On average, this preparation process takes from 4 to 8 weeks, so this is important to consider when choosing your CSET Test Date.
