TEST SITES
When registering for the CSET, refer to the following tables to select a test area and test date. Your specific test site will be determined based on availability and appropriateness of facilities for test administration.

Register as early as possible to increase your chances of being assigned to a test site within your first-choice test area.
Not all tests are available on all test dates or at all test areas. Refer to the following tables to determine which test areas and test dates are available for the tests you wish to take.

Emergency Registration Test Areas
Emergency registration is limited to the space available at the following test areas across California. Please note that the test areas available for emergency registration are subject to change based on available space. Some areas may become full and, therefore, may be unavailable during emergency registration.

Out-of-State Test Areas
Out-of-state testing is available for the May test date in the following five test areas. Out-of-state test areas are offered subject to the requirement that there is a minimum number of examinees per area. Examinees will be notified if a test area selected during registration is not available due to insufficient registration. Because of space limitations at some of the out-of-state test areas, examinees are urged to register early.
During the late registration period, examinees may be able to register for an out-of-state test area, subject to space availability. Registration for out-of-state test areas is not available during the emergency registration period.
