I really liked the test prep class. I learned a lot of short cuts and learned a different hints that I can use. The only thing is that is a bit long and exhausting.

Stephanie was truly great and I think she had a lot of potential to go deeper into the subject material. I think if the slides had been a little be more in depth and scaffolded there would have been greater understanding for the math CSET 2. Conics was very glazed over when in reality there were lots of questions on that on the test. Also it would be super helpful to have more individual problems to practice the material on beside on exam question that is walked through immediately. Lastly it would be so helpful to end the class with take a different version of the exam to see how you do on your own

CSET Multiple Subject Test Prep

Myesha Pruitt was a great teacher for the 3 day CSET multiple subject review! She was enthusiastic and extremely knowledgable with all of the test material! The days are long and filled with information, but worth the time you put in. I felt confident and less anxious after attending the conference. This course is extremely valuable because the information is more focused and narrowed down.

Reply from Teachers Test Prep
That's great that the prep classes helped you feel more confident and comfortable with the material. We'll pass on your positive feedback to Myeasha, who I'm sure will be delighted to receive it!

Where do I start

Where do I start? Math and science are two subjects in which I struggled the most and my job was on the line if I didn’t pass Multiple Subject CSET II. I only used Teachers Test Prep to study for this particular CSET. For two weeks straight I dedicated 4 hours each weekday just studying using only the videos and would pause and write notes when needed. On weekends, I would watch EVERY, SINGLE, VIDEO! It was about 8 hours long just to get through both sections (math and science). When taking the test I felt like I did horrible (I answered one math constructive response with one sentence and pretty much restated the constructive response prompt for the science portion). But when I received my results, to my surprise I did amazing on the multiple choice questions and answered almost all the questions correct (and received **** stars) in both math and science but didn’t do well on constructive response (only received * star for both math and science constructive responses). In the end, the videos can be boring and the instructor giving the presentations isn’t the most enthusiastic person (and says “ummm” and also Clicks his tongue a lot) but overall seems knowledgeable of the subject matter he is teaching and the material that he covers is definitely on the test! For that reason I’m giving it a ***** star rating! Thank you!

Congratulations on passing CSET II, Natalie! It sounds like you worked really hard and we're delighted to hear that your efforts paid off. Thanks for your feedback about the videos - this is useful to have as we review our materials. We really appreciate you taking the time to review us and wish you all the best in your teaching career!

I just took the tests today and I'd say most of their information is outdated, or didn't apply to the test. While a few questions directly correlated to the two day course, I feel I could have done better by simply reviewing slides on my own. The instructor would give a 7-8 minute break every two hours of lecture. While I understand the amount of information, that's not sustainable. Instructor repeated comments such as, "I really hate this next question, but..." and "...well you really don't have a choice". I'm sure he thought he was being funny, but after the 30th time, it gets old. Waste of $300.

Thanks for your review of our Social Science prep class. We're really sorry to hear that the class wasn't what you were hoping for. We understand that there is a lot of material covered over the 2 days, and that this can feel quite overwhelming. Because the content specifications for the actual exam are very broad and candidates don't know what topics they will be presented with on the day, we try to cover as much potential content as we can and to give students exposure to the style of questions they might encounter. This means that not all material covered in the class will necessarily be assessed on the exam, though we hope, of course, that it will still be useful to students as they go on to become teachers and subject experts themselves.

With regards to the comments made in the class, we can appreciate your frustration and understand that remarks such as this could create an atmosphere of negativity. As a company, our goal is to instill our students with an enthusiasm for the subject matter and for teaching itself, and we sincerely apologize if this was not the experience you had. Again, we really appreciate you taking the time to tell us about your experience - this feedback is invaluable to us in our ongoing evaluation of our programs. If we can be of any further assistance now or at any stage, please feel free to contact us directly at info@teacherstestprep.com

Teachers Test Prep has been very helpful with providing efficient practice exams for the CBEST. I recently started exploring the CSET help that is offered but I am sure it will be as helpful as the CBEST help.

I took the in person CSET Social Science Prep course in the LA area. It was a good overview of the three subtests. It's a lot of information to cover in two days but it will help you narrow your studying and get an idea of what the tests will be like. It is a good aid in your preparation for the exams, but you will need further studying in my opinion. My instructor was knowledgable and kept the class moving at a good pace. After your prep course you have digital acess to the lecture slides to keep reviewing. Overall a pretty good prep course but you will need further studying to pass.

Reply from Teachers Test Prep
Hi Bryce, we're glad that the prep class gave you a solid overview of the content you needed to learn so that you could plan your self-study program accordingly. It sounds like you're being very thorough and disciplined in your preparation, an approach which is sure to pay off in your mastery of the subject matter. Best of luck on the exam!

This program was amazing!

This program was amazing! I had struggled to pass my social science CSET tests and this system helped me to finally pass them! The lecture videos and slides were extremely helpful to me. I think the only thing I had wished there was more of was more in depth explanations of the geography portions of the test. Other than that, the information given was great and the diagnostic tools available really improved my learning. After studying, I really felt confident for my exams, unlike times before. I highly recommend this program to anyone that needs to take their CSET!

Reply from Teachers Test Prep
Hi Dana, we're delighted you were so satisfied with our CSET program! We're very happy that our online resources were useful and that you made full use of the diagnostics in your preparation - a great approach to take. Thanks for your suggestion about the geography content - feedback is really helpful to us in our ongoing review process. Congratulations on passing and all the best with your teaching career!

English CSET I-IV was a challenge for me as I was not an English major. Though teacherstestprep definitely made things easier to understand, I was unable to pass my CSETs for 12 consecutive times.
Also just to clarify, though it says it is guaranteed once we purchase a core program, do we only get a full refund once for the entirety of our program purchases and retakes?

Was concerned about getting through the material and staying interested. The various ways you can review and learn the material is impressive. I plan on using the site to take the special education praxis since I know it works. I was over the moon when I passed my test the first time. I know Teachers Prep was the reason I did. Thank you Teachers Prep.

It was a good class

It was a good class, a lot of information was covered. However, the first thing, the very first thing out of the instructors mouth was "I do not want to be here, I am over teaching this class but they keep calling me"
That set the stage for me and put me more on edge.
Other than that I did walk away with a ton of notes to help me study.

Social Studies CSETs

The CSET social studies teachers prep guide followed the CTC study guide. The videos were extremely helpful because they went through every section of what the CTC was asking us to study. The study guide is daunting but teachers test prep was able to break it down for me. Teachers test prep is a great starting point and will go through everything you need to cover for the social studies CSETs.
I passed my three CSETs on my first try in a span of a semester.
Thank you teachers prep!

We're delighted to hear that you passed all your exams, Mariana! You're right, the amount of content covered in the CSETs can indeed feel intimidating, but we're very happy our online prep helped make it more accessible. Thanks for your review, and best of luck in your teaching career!

I think the instructor for my…

I think the instructor for my math/science prep course is very smart, but also very burned out. The class felt rushed; it should have been spread out over 2 days. For the amount of $$ TTP makes on these courses, it's unacceptable that there are no longer water bottles or even hot water in the lobby. Even dogs are offered water at most establishments. I think they should have provided some light snacks and drinks, and switched out instructors mid day, since ours was clearly spent from having done three days in a row. It's a massive money maker that should be revamped, in my opinion. The slides haven't been updated in a long time, so they aren't pouring money back into their materials. I wasn't very happy.

Hi Lisa,

Firstly, apologies for the late response - we were waiting to hear back from the venue regarding an issue that you raised.

We really appreciate you taking the time to review our CSET Math/Science class and are sorry to hear that you weren't happy with the experience. We try to price our classes reasonably, given venue costs and the number of teaching hours students receive. We know that it can be a long day with a large quantity of material covered. We've found that the single day format works best for most students, especially as many are trying to do all areas of the subtest in the one weekend – as you say though, we do appreciate that it can feel quite rigorous. Remember that you do have 3 months of online access to the slideshows, so if you'd like to spend additional time reviewing the material at a more leisurely pace, this may be an option.

With regards to your comments about refreshments, we try to always book venues where there are facilities nearby where students can purchase hot drinks, snacks and lunch. We completely agree with you about the importance of having water available. We’ve followed up with the hotel and have been told that there should have been a water station (pitcher and glasses) available in the room. We apologize if this wasn’t there, or if it wasn’t highlighted appropriately at the start of the class. We’ll make sure that we do so in future, and the hotel have also assured us that they will remind their staff to check that it is always there.

Thanks again for your review and if we can help further in any way, please feel free to get in touch with us directly at info@teacherstestprep.com
