, Multiple Subjects Practice Test: Subtest I
INTRODUCTION
This practice test is a full-length sample test consisting of 52 multiple-choice questions and four constructed-
response assignments. An answer sheet for the multiple-choice questions, blank response sheets for the
constructed-response assignments, and a Domain Results Worksheet for each domain are also included.
TEST DIRECTIONS
This practice test consists of two sections: (1) a multiple-choice question section and (2) a constructed-response
assignment section. Each question in the first section of the practice test is a multiple-choice question with four
answer choices. Read each question carefully and choose the ONE best answer. Record each answer on the
answer sheet provided on page 2.
The second section of this practice test contains constructed-response assignments, which require written
responses. Directions for the constructed-response assignments appear immediately before those assignments.
You may work on the multiple-choice questions and constructed-response assignments in any order that you
choose. You may wish to monitor how long it takes you to complete the practice test. When taking the actual
CSET: Multiple Subjects, you will have one five-hour test session in which to complete all three subtests. If you
register to take just Subtest I, you will have one three-hour test session in which to complete the subtest.
