CSET Math: Mathematics and Foundational-Level Mathematics

CSET Math is three subtests, all taken at a test center: Subtest I is number and algebra, Subtest II is geometry, probability and statistics, and Subtest III is calculus. Pass all three for the Single Subject credential in Mathematics. Pass only Subtests I and II and you qualify for the Foundational-Level Mathematics credential instead.

Algebra, geometry and statistics, calculus: the three subtests

Can you use a calculator on the CSET math test?

Only on Subtest II, and you bring your own. Pearson doesn’t provide one, and calculator manuals aren’t allowed. Staff clear its memory before and after the test, so back up anything you want to keep.

  • TI-73, TI-83, TI-83 Plus or TI-83 Plus Silver Edition
  • TI-84, TI-84 Plus, TI-84 Plus Silver Edition, TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition or TI-84 Plus CE
  • TI-Nspire handheld with the TI-84 Plus keypad, which has to stay on during the test

Foundational-Level Mathematics

This credential uses the same Subtests I and II, and you need both. It authorizes teaching general math, algebra, geometry, probability and statistics, and consumer math only. The full Mathematics credential, with Subtest III added, authorizes all math courses.

Because the subtests are shared, you can start with I and II and add calculus later. A subtest you pass stays usable toward a credential for 10 years.
