TEST SELECTION

Important notes: Subtest II includes written, spoken, and listening constructed-response items. Because Subtest II includes recorded components, examinees who arrive late will not be admitted. Individuals who register for Subtest II may not register for any CSET: Multiple Subjects subtests on the same test date. Note that this Subtest II is the same Subtest II used to obtain a Single Subject Teaching Credential.

For test code information for each language, refer to "Certification Requirements."

• Depending on the subtests selected during registration, each examinee is assigned to one or more test sessions that are scheduled throughout the testing day. After registering, each examinee will receive an admission ticket that provides his or her session assignment(s) and exact reporting time(s). Because of space limitations at these test areas, examinees are encouraged to register early. If a test area is no longer available when a registration is submitted, that examinee may be assigned to test on a day other than the Saturday test date.
  
  
• The test site in the ASL Northern California test area will typically be in the Sacramento/San Francisco vicinity. The test site in the ASL Southern California test area will typically be in the Los Angeles/San Diego vicinity.
  
  
• The registration deadline for CSET: American Sign Language subtests is the regular registration deadline. Late and emergency registration services are not available for these subtests.
  
  
• Subtests I and III are administered in an individualized setting and include videotaped components that require examinees to view video excerpts and respond in ASL and/or written English. Since some responses are videotaped, it is recommended that you wear solid-colored professional attire that contrasts with your skin tone. Avoid wearing black, white, or red clothing. If possible, avoid clothing with prints and stripes; they will affect the clarity of your videotaped responses and may interfere with the scorers' ability to see your signs. On the day of the test, it is your responsibility to wear clothing that provides the best background upon which to demonstrate your ASL communication ability.
  
  
• Subtest II is administered in a group setting and includes videotaped constructed-response components that require examinees to view video excerpts and respond in written English. Because Subtest II includes recorded components, examinees who arrive late will not be admitted.
  
  
• Examinees who register for any CSET: American Sign Language subtests may not register for any other CSET subtests on the same test date.
