California educators planning to teach mathematics at the secondary school level typically must pass the CSET Mathematics exam. CSET Mathematics consists of three subtests. Each CSET Mathematics subtest may be taken and passed separately.
Subtest 1 covers Number and Quantity, and Algebra.
Subtest 2 covers Geometry, and Probability and Statistics.
Subtest 3 covers Calculus.
All subtests consist of both multiple-choice and constructed-response questions. A graphing calculator will be allowed for Subtest 2 only. Examinees must bring an approved graphing calculator to the test administration.
