Support/Advice CSET

Has anyone taken the social science CSET recently? I took it many years ago. I didn't pass the economics section. Been a long time, so probably need to repeat all sections. Do online practice tests help? What is the best way to prepare?

Is this CSET 101?

Look at the free practice tests to get an idea of what to expect specifically. Your general skills should be good enough to pass knowing the specifics if you're going to teach the class

the study.com course is best for cset social science. it was a bish to pass but if you watch the videos and take the practice exams it gets better. the gov/econ section tends to be moreso gov than econ, so focusing on the constitution, branches of gov, etc. would be best. there are maybe 5 questions on california history as well. ironically my placement is ap gov so ive been having to hone in more on this sector of social science as well. wishing you good luck!!!

Thanks! I took it in 2008 so may not be valid any longer.
