How this list was compiled: Our own questions, written to the published content specifications of the three subtests of CSET: Multiple Subjects, read 2026-10-09 on the program site of the California Educator Credentialing Assessments (test page https://www.ctcexams.nesinc.com/TestView.aspx?f=HTML_FRAG/CA_CSET101_TestPage.html; test structure https://www.ctcexams.nesinc.com/Content/StudyGuide/CA_SG_obj_101.htm; subtest descriptions https://www.ctcexams.nesinc.com/content/docs/CSET_Prep/CS_101subtestdescription.pdf, https://www.ctcexams.nesinc.com/content/docs/CSET_Prep/CS_214subtestdescription.pdf and https://www.ctcexams.nesinc.com/content/docs/CSET_Prep/CS_225subtestdescription.pdf). The real subtests ask 52, 52 and 39 multiple-choice questions; the bank keeps that ratio with 24 on Subtest I (12 reading, language and literature; 12 history and social science), 24 on Subtest II (12 science; 12 mathematics) and 18 on Subtest III (6 physical education; 6 human development; 6 visual and performing arts). History facts were read in the Milestone Documents of the National Archives and in named Wikipedia articles; science facts in pages of NASA, NOAA, the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Energy Information Administration and the National Human Genome Research Institute; physical education and arts facts in the glossaries of the California Department of Education's content standards; language, reading and human development facts in named Wikipedia articles. Each question carries the day its source was read. Every mathematics answer was worked twice. No question is shared with the three subtest pages of this site. Licence: Questions, choices and explanations are original work of this site.

How it works

This free CSET Multiple Subjects practice test mixes 66 questions of our own from all three subtests. It is unofficial and not affiliated with the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing or Pearson.

Read the full guide

Weighted like the real test

The bank keeps the real ratio of multiple-choice questions across the subtests (test structure read October 9, 2026): 24 on Subtest I, 24 on Subtest II and 18 on Subtest III. Exam mode asks all 66.

Seven domains

Subtest I: reading, language and literature, and history and social science. Subtest II: science and mathematics. Subtest III: physical education, human development, and visual and performing arts.

Where the answers come from

Each question names its source: the National Archives for United States history; NASA, NOAA, the U.S. Geological Survey and other federal science pages; California's content standards for physical education and the arts; a named Wikipedia article for the rest. Mathematics answers are worked twice.

  • Each subtest has a deeper page here with questions of its own; none of them is repeated in this bank.
  • Subtests I and III can be taken with an online proctor. Subtest II is given at test centers only.
