CSET Test Preparation

Mathematics/Science Teacher Initiative (MSTI)

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.  Each test in the program is designed to measure a specific set of knowledge, skills, and/or abilities reflecting the subject area of the credential sought. The sets of subject matter requirements for all examinations of the CSET were defined in conjunction with committees of California educators and approved by the CTC. 

SDSU's MSTI offers math and science CSET test prep workshops twice a year. Our workshops are free and open to the public!
