Preparing for the CSET single subject science test can be daunting if you don't have a strategy to follow. It can also be expensive if you decide to take a crash course. There however is an easy way to score high on the CSET without breaking the bank or pushing yourself to your academic limits.
The CSET science single subject test, also know as the CSET General Foundation Science Exam, comes in three parts. The first part focuses on the life sciences, the second part the physical science and the third your area of specialty.
Those that pass the CSET Science exam are expected to be very familiar with the California Science Education Standards for K-12. Because the standards are very similar to the United Kingdom's GCES standards, one can use not only the California Science Education Standards as a framework, the associated released test questions for these standards, but also the review and practice tests for the GCES standards.
Step 1: Review the official California Science Standards

Step 2: Review the California Framework Standards. This is considered one of the most important CSET Science documents.
Step 3: Take the Practice Tests associated with the Released Test Questions for the California Science Standards

Step 5: Review and Study the free GCSE review material (on the BBC website) and take the practice tests associated with them. The BBC website is one of the most comprehensive GCSE online web sites available.
The best resources for the Foundational Science exam are the GCSE (united kingdom science standards). The BBC provides an extensive resource center, which includes reviews, activities and practice tests on all the topic areas at
Consider purchasing the available GCES Teacher Book and CSET Science test prep books. Review these and the associated problems and take the tests
