Success On The CSET Test

The most abhorred feelings of low self-esteem surface when you fail the CSET. After completing four years of college your teaching career in California is stuck in a holding pattern. You’re on hold all because of a standardized exam. How do I know this? Easy, I’ve been there. I cannot express how truly inadequate I felt when I failed to pass the CSET test the first time.

Not only was I plagued with feelings of inadequacy, but I lost a teaching job at a school that I really wanted. Because the job offer was contingent on passing the CSET. For a young, promising educator, that seemed to me to be a double failure. Not only did I receive a failing score on the CSET, I had lost what I thought to be a fantastic position at a school I loved.

Moving From Failure To Success

As you can probably assert from this writing, I do not lack intelligence. I am both an eloquent writer and a formidable, effective instructor. What I am not is a great standardized test taker. Unfortunately, if I wanted to remain in California and obtain a well-paying teaching position in the school district of my choice, I had to pass the CSET test. Many college graduates are in the same predicament.

How does one prepare to take an examination like the CSET tests? This question boggles many intelligent college graduates. I graduated from my university at the top of my class, but failed my CSET exams on the first attempt. I was flustered, at the least.  I felt miserable.  It was at this low point when the principal at the school where I had lost the offered position provided me with a recommendation for Teaching Solutions.  He indicated that he had personal knowledge of several individuals who had used their Comprehensive Success System for preparation for the CSET test.

It occurred to me that it was pure insanity to study for my second CSET test the same way I had the first time. I needed a different approach.  I took this principal’s advice and used the Teaching Solution’s CSET preparation tools.  I am convinced that this was the edge that helped me pass the CSET test and finally obtain a teaching position that I love.

A Program For Passing Scores

To pass the CSET test, you must not only be extremely knowledgeable in the subject matter, but also know how to properly answer the test questions and required essays. You need to apply the knowledge you’ve learned. For me, that was the most positive aspect of the Comprehensive Success System from Teaching Solutions. Not only did the study guides contain actual CSET test content, but the test coaches provided you will the tools and approaches for passing the exam.

For someone who has never been astute at standardized tests, this preparation combination of study guides and coaches was the ultimate tool for passing the CSET.  After utilizing the Teaching Solutions program as my CSET test prep tool, I passed with exemplary scores. I now have attained the position I wanted as a California Certified Teacher in Multiple Subjects.  I can truly state that this would have never been possible in the short time frame I accomplished it without the help I received from Teaching Solutions. If I, the world’s worst test taker can pass the CSET, so can you.  Do not let a fear of standardized examinations roadblock your teaching career – obtain a study tool for your CSET test that will bolster your confidence and help you achieve your certification.
