WHAT'S NEW IN 2012–2013?

Computer-Based Testing for Select Examinations

Beginning in September 2012, computer-based testing is available for CSET: Mathematics.

Paper-based administrations of CSET: Mathematics are no longer available.

Computer-based administrations of this test are available by appointment, year-round, Monday through Saturday (excluding some holidays), on a first-come, first-served basis. Computer-based testing will be offered at numerous test centers in California and at more than 225 test centers nationwide. Additional computer-based test centers are being added in California and throughout the United States. For up-to-date information on available test centers, including real-time seat availability, refer to the Pearson VUE website at www.pearsonvue.com/cset/.

Fees for computer-based testing differ from fees for paper-based testing.

A video and photo tour of the computer-based testing experience and a computer-based testing tutorial preview are available on the CSET website (see "Tutorials for Computer-Based Testing").

Registration for by-appointment, year-round, computer-based testing is available on the Internet by selecting "Register Now" on the CSET website. You should try to register as early as possible before your desired test date, as seating is limited.

Note: The last paper-based administration of CSET: Mathematics will be July 14, 2012.
