I worked my way through this book prior to taking the CSET. By combining the information from the book with information found from a variety of online informational resources, I passed all three tests, the first time, with little worry.

The practice problems in this book is very ineffective, they are too specific. The questions are not helpful because they do not cover the full scope of the subject, they just ask minor details which are useless. The way they ask the questions are also inefficient, the instructions are unclear, and the answers don’t explain well enough.
Not recommended for studying for CSET

This book was way too detailed. For example, the pages of detailed classification of different types of xylem and extremely in-depth lists of many human body systems. Maybe you need that for the Science Single Subject CSET, but it is clearly out of the realm for multi-subj. Part of what I look for in these types of books, is a little guidance on what we need to know. This book does not meet that expectation, and it does not seem to follow the explicit domains listed by CSET.

I used this book to study for my CSET. I found the book very helpful in all areas except for science. It was too detailed for the multi-subject. I used the guide for everything else though, and I did pass all three subtests. For science I found a great resource online called Brainpop. It is a site of short movies on all subjects. The movies are for kids, but they really helped me study. I signed up for a free trial and watched all the science movies. I also watched some math ones, and those were helpful as well. Brainpop combined with this book were all I needed to pass the CSET.

This book was the perfect thing for my studying habits. I made flashcards, took the CTC practice tests and and reviewed this book in detail. The typos are frustrating and the science part was immense, but I learned a lot by using this text. There are a bunch of practice tests in this book also that really make it nice to get accustomed to the format of the questions on the CSET. It’s huge (+/- 500 pages), but it’s lightweight, so you can take it everywhere. And I know I wouldn’t have passed all three the first time around if it wasn’t for this book!
