Sample Test Materials for Science Subtests IV

NOTE: Effective spring 2003, the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing authorized the addition of four Science (Specialized) areas for Single Subject Teaching Credentials: Biological Sciences (Specialized), Chemistry (Specialized), Physics (Specialized), and Geoscience (Specialized). A Science (Specialized) credential authorization permits the holder to teach in the specific science area listed on the Single Subject Teaching Credential and does not authorize teaching general or integrated science. To verify subject matter competence for this credential by examination, candidates must pass CSET: Science Subtests III and IV in their specific Science area.

Sample test materials for CSET: Science Subtests IV are contained in the sample test materials for CSET: Science Subtests I and II, as follows.

CSET: Science Subtest IV	Sample Test Materials
