CSET: Music
This test is the redeveloped CSET: Music examination. Registration for testing appointments beginning November 21, 2022, will be available on October 11, 2022.
The Commission is scheduled to set the passing standards for the redeveloped CSET Music at its December 2022 meeting. If the passing standards are set at that meeting, test results will be released within three weeks of the meeting.
CSET Music examinees who passed the current CSET Music: Subtest I (test code 136), CSET Music: Subtest II (test code 137), and CSET Music: Subtest III (test code 138) do not need to take the redeveloped version of the exam.
CSET: Music consists of 2 subtests:
- Subtest I (test code 226)
- Subtest II (test code 227)
Subtest I consists of two sections: (1) 40 multiple-choice questions presented on screen at your computer-based test administration, and (2) three constructed-response questions, two of which include the submission of a video-recorded performance prior to your computer-based test administration.
You may register to take any one subtest in a single test session.
Computer-based test (CBT) only:
- Subtest I: 40 multiple-choice questions and three constructed-response questions, including video-recorded performances
- Subtest II: 40 multiple-choice questions and two constructed-response questions
Subtest I: 1 hour and 45 minutes
Subtest II: 2 hours and 15 minutes
15 additional minutes are provided to complete a nondisclosure agreement and tutorial. Any time taken for breaks is considered part of your available testing time.
Subtests I and II include the use of a headset.
Tests may include questions that are evaluated for future administrations and do not affect a candidate's score.
