CSET California Subject Examination for Teachers

The University of California, Irvine Extension, supported by generous grants from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and The Boeing Company, is developing online courses to prepare science and mathematics teachers for the California Subject Examinations for Teachers (CSET).

The courses address the urgent need to help teachers prepare for and pass the CSET exams necessary to teach science and mathematics in California Schools.

UC Irvine Extension's online test-preparation courses correspond with the 10 CSET science subtests and three CSET mathematics subtests.

CSET Online Preparation Courses

• Mathematics Subtest I
• Mathematics Subtest II
  • Parallelism and Euclidean Geometry
    Plane Euclidean Geometry
    Three-Dimensional Geometry
    Transformational Geometry

  • Together, this material will help you prepare for the CSET Math III exam. It will allow you to analyze any gaps you may have and learn from brief “refreshers” and “guided examples.” For more on the methodology used in these courses, please refer to “How to take this course.” For information on browsers, please refer to “Display of Mathematics and Browser Issues.” Firefox includes built-in display support for MathML, the display language for mathematics on the Internet. If you use Internet Explorer you will have to download a free plugin, the MathPlayer plugin.
