Mathematics (211/212/213) 

Introduction

CSET: Mathematics consists of three separate subtests, each composed of both multiple-choice and constructed-response questions. Each subtest is scored separately.

For the Single Subject Teaching Credential in Mathematics, you must pass Subtests I, II, and III. This credential authorizes teaching all mathematics coursework.

The structure of the examination is shown in the tables below. 

Table outlining the test format, number of questions, time, and passing score.
