CBEST, CSET Test Dates & Locations

Free CBEST Test Preparation Workshop

Teacher Preparation students should complete the CBEST test during their time here at Mt. SAC. Once passed, the certification is good for life.

The 4-hour Basic Skills test covers reading comprehension, math and essay writing. TPI recommends that students who have passed English 1A and Math 71 are prepared to pass this test.

TPI urges all future teachers to take the CBEST before transferring to a 4-year college.

TPI Members who attend the full workshop and pass the CBEST can apply for a reimbursement from TPI for the test fee ($41).

Next CBEST Workshop will be held on a Saturday, May 19, 2012.  Sessions as follows:

• Reading & Writing: 9a-12p
• Math: 1-4p

This Free workshop is open to all TPI Members as well as Cal Poly Pomona Students who are pursuing a teaching career.

Seating is limited!  Call the TPI Center today at 909-274-4190 to reserve your seat.

CSET Test Preparation Workshop

Free CSET Workshop for TPI Members and current Cal Poly Pomona Students

Teacher Prep will be offering a free CSET Workshop for Multiple Subject Subtest I & II in Spring 2012.  Each Subtest Workshop will meet once a week (Thursdays) for 3 hours (4-7p or 5-8p, depending on instructor) for 6 weeks beginning Thursday, March 8, 2012 (Subtest I), and Thursday, April 19, 2012 (Subtest II) .  Prereqs apply.  If you would like an application emailed to you, please email Veronica Baeza at vbaeza@mtsac.edu.

What seperates TPI's CSET workshop from others?

• Workshop is free.  Other colleges charge $150 and up for a full day workshop.
• Teacher Prep instructors go over subject matter of CSET, not test taking strategies, so that you will be better prepared to take the test.

Exclusive offer for active TPI Members: attend all workshops, take the test, pass it, show TPI proof and get reimbursed for the test fee!
