Multiple Subjects Practice Test: Subtest II

INTRODUCTION

This practice test is a full-length sample test consisting of 52 multiple-choice questions and four constructedresponse 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 II, you will have one three-hour session in which to complete the subtest.
