California Subject Examinations for Teachers (CSET): Multiple Subjects, Subtests I-III — California Commission on Teacher Credentialing

The CSET Multiple Subjects exam has three subtests for California's elementary teaching credential, each with multiple-choice questions (70 percent of the subtest score) and short constructed-response questions (30 percent). You need a scaled 220 on each subtest. Subtests cost $99 each or $247 together. SummitCert's portal practices the multiple-choice questions only, with explanations, flashcards, a timed 143-question practice set and progress tracking.
