The CSET Single Subject English test is one of the most difficult ultimatums for people attempting to get their teaching certification for the high school classroom in the great state of California. One of the most feared things in a test taker's head is CSET preparation. Let’s clear up some myths and figure out this English CSET conundrum with several useful techniques for you to receive good English CSET scores and your ideal teaching position.

For certain, the English CSET exam absolutely requires a programmed formulation. It has been shown that test takers that prepare for the English CSET exam get higher scores than those who do not put some energy on preparation.

Next in this report we will look at planning and then preparation. I have written this report supported by observations and thoughts from numerous victorious CSET students and from my practical experience in helping students pass the CSET English exam.

The first and most important thing to ponder is how long do you have to get ready for the CSET examination. Many people may have 6 weeks, some may have 6 months. Your CSET English study plan needs to be stringently based on how much time you have to study. After you arrive at a time horizon you must weigh:

1. Self-appraisal
a. What you are good at
b. Areas of weakness
c. Online course (software) or books

How to Do a Self-Assessment

Ascertain if you need a English CSET examination study class by pondering your strong and weak areas of learning. For example, some students might be good at reading from a book and then memorizing that information, while others may not have the ability to hold information from a book and then remember that information while taking the CSET. If you belong to the first category buy a inexpensive book from a major publisher and use free online websites and start your preparation based on them. This method will save you money. Yet know that a CSET English book or downloadable PDF is static and non-interactive and does not even begin to address memorization like my CSET English class does but for a few quizzes that a publisher may include.

If you belong to the second category then be careful in choosing what study materials to use for the CSET exam as useless study guides saturate the market place and only a few good test prep books are out there. Social network with students who have already taken the CSET exam and find out which CSET class is favored and will conform to your learning style. Make sure you know these students. Do not take the word of an anonymous person in a public message forum. In the test preparation industry, publishers or their employees will often create bogus personae in public message forums to sell their products. Even the customer feedback on Amazon.com should not be trusted. I have seen quite a few students not pass the CSET exam because they took the advice of a fake student from a CSET message forum.

A fantastic online English course is ACE the CSET English by Confab Publishing. Students say ACE the CSET English best matches the actual CSET English examination. ACE the CSET English has lots of effective interactive drills such as: chronology, fill-in, matching, point and click, and even crosswords—mandatory drills for those who want additional help learning the materials required to ace the CSET English exam.

The online course also promotes visual and audio learning in that it provides several hours worth of movies streamed from cutting-edge websites like YouTube and TeacherTube plus our own exclusive CSET English educational videos. The online class requires no special software and test takers can access the online course with any browser and Internet connection.

There are a few free websites available for the CSET English examination on the Internet. I do not recommend CSET message forums because of the problems mentioned above regarding dishonest business owners who post in a public message forum merely to promote their own products, goods, or services. My logic is that if a business owner needs to post in a CSET message forum under an alias account in order to find business for her goods, then the products, goods, or services must not be that good in the first place. That publisher or teacher would be wise to spend more time on product development than on dishonest marketing tactics. A fantastic product or service will generate business by real word of mouth referrals from teachers who achieved certification, like my online CSET English class. Another reason I do not recommend CSET message forums is that often, it is the blind leading the blind. Knowledge is often posted in forums that is erroneous and filled with errors. Finally, CSET message forums are very time consuming. Often weeks of CSET preparation are lost scrolling through egocentric, conflicting, and emotionally charged messages. It can take hours of scrolling through chit-chat messages to find valuable information. This is not effective time management in preparing for the CSET exam.

The free websites I like are Wikipedia and Project Gutenberg. I also like the free materials for the English exam available at ACE the CSET.

Do not forget, a passing CSET score will save you 1000's of dollars by landing you your ideal teaching position quickly, versus not passing and delaying your career. Make sure you focus in on how you will approach your CSET exam preparation.
