Among the new class of inductees into the "Beating Them All!" series, Beating the CSET! will help both pre-service and practicing teachers pass the CSET Multiple Subjects Elementary Language Arts exam. Because passing the CSET Multiple Subjects test is now required for an elementary credential in California, this new text has been designed to address the essential time-management methods, essay, and multiple-choice strategies, and content that test takers must know in order to pass Subtests One through Three of the exam. This text focuses on the reading, language, and literature section of CSET Multiple Subjects-Subtest One. It has been specifically written so that the content aligns with each domain and content area of the exam. Unlike other CSET preparation books, this text does not simply offer a copy of obsolete MSAT materials. Instead, the content, constructed-response and multiple-choice strategies, and special time-management models for the subtest are all research based. The goal is to provide first time test takers with the best information possible to help them understand what to know and do before taking the exam.
