CSET General Science

I am mixed about this review, mainly because I ended up not passing the CSET General Science exam. (This is historically difficult to pass.) However, I am giving this more stars because the content presented by Teacher's Test Prep was incredibly cohesive, well-explained, and certainly worth the money for any other test you may need. I felt adequately prepared for the exam with all the scientific knowledge and reasoning my little brain could handle! In spite of that, this particular CSET exam required extensive, deeper knowledge of scientific concepts. I felt that all of my test prep services only scratched the surface of the immense depth of the content that was actually on the test.
That being said, I will return here for my RICA and still wholeheartedly recommend this service. (I WILL retake the CSET General Science, because I am a stubborn little thing!)

Used the 2 week course. Recommend!

Used the 2 week course to cram for me last CSET. Passed it on the first try. Highly recommend. Will use their prep again for the RICA.

Thanks Darin, we're glad you found our prep services useful!

Hi Angelica, we're very happy you enjoyed your prep class!

Informative, helpful, fun -

This review is for multi-subject CSET prep -
I can only imagine how much more useful these courses would have been in person, but Todd definitely knows his stuff and made these courses a pleasure to take.

A will say, just based on my own learning style, I am someone how got amazing results from the core videos, too. They allowed me to go at my own pace, take notes, pause, rewind, etc. You don't get the Q & A feedback of a live instructor, but the amount of info in them is amazing.

Just a note for people who don't feel like they're getting the most out of these courses - they are a tool in your bag just like a study book, or flash cards, or independent research. Do NOT expect to sit back, take some Zoom classes and pass the tests. You have to Take copious notes, re-read the notes, make flash cards, test yourself, etc to stand a chance.

If you put in the effort, you'll pass the CSETs NO problem.

Hi Ryan, we're delighted you had such a great experience in Todd's Zoom class - we'll be sure to pass your feedback on to him. It sounds like you put a lot of hard work into preparing for your CSET, studying with our online prep program and taking a live class so you could ask questions, and this approach really paid off for you - well done!

I felt the prep was better than other…

I felt the prep was better than other online services over all. The teaching portion was excellent. Each section well organized and to the point. I thought some of the practice tests asked questions about more difficult concepts that didn't actually appear that much on the test (CBEST), such as thematic and style questions in the english portion. But I was happy to have had a thorough review of extrapolating conclusions. I learned the most about fractions, which I was very rusty on and I though the instructor did a nice job of simplifying. I did very well on my test, my overall score on english and math was 134. I did not take the writing prep and only barely passed with a 41, so that tells you something about how good your prep course was. (I have serious issues with formulaic grading for writing samples-but that's my issue!)

Reply from Teachers Test Prep

Congratulations on passing your CBEST! We're glad we were able to help you with the English and Math sections and you were happy with your results. Even though there was some content which wasn't directly assessed on your test (as can sometimes be the case, given how broad the content specs are), we're glad you felt well-prepared and are sure it will be helpful to you as you go forward in your career. We really appreciate you taking the time to review us and wish you all the best on your teaching journey!

I had such a hard time passing the math…

I had such a hard time passing the math portion of the CBEST and had taken it twice and failed both times. Before I took it the second time I was relying on YouTube videos and the "Cracking the CBEST" book. I actually scored lower the second time I took it. I was feeling very defeated and discouraged. I bought the "Core Plus" program and although its a bit pricey, I finally passed on my third time. This program changed the way I thought about solving the problems which to me was key. The test basically has a right answer for every wrong way of solving the problem so you really have to know what you're doing. This was where this program/website is helpful. I definitely recommend it to anyone else who struggles with math

Reply from Teachers Test Prep

Hi Alyssa, we're so happy we were able to help you pass CBEST Math! Congratulations on persisting and putting in the hard work - we're delighted our instructors' approach to test strategy helped you approach the exam in a new way, and succeed!

Highly Recommend

I bought all three video packages for my Multiple Subject CSET test. They were very informative and really helped me. I was able to pass the CSET on my first try. I took very detailed notes from the videos, made flash cards, and even set up a timeline of history on my wall from the information I learned through TTP. The truth is, you will not pass the test just by watching the videos, you have to take notes, take the practice tests, and really study the information. It's a hard test and I couldn't have passed without TTP.

Reply from Teachers Test Prep

Thank you for talking the time to tell us about your experience. It sounds like you put a lot of thought and effort into preparing for your CSET and utilized all the different parts of the program, which is an ideal way to study. Congratulations on passing!

Praxis online prep

I took online Praxis prep classes. The video lessons were Extremely helpful! I scored above average in 3 out of the 4 exams I had to take. I wish Teachers Test Prep had an online tutorial for the Foundations of Reading Test.

Reply from Teachers Test Prep

Well done on your fantastic results, Kari! We're glad our online prep helped you pass your Praxis exams and will pass on your suggestion about a Foundations of Reading program to our curriculum team.

I liked the videos and outlines.

I liked the videos and outlines. The teachers explained things well in a way that I understood. However, when I took the CSET exams, I got a lot of questions that did NOT match the content that was covered by Teachers Test Prep. It also wasn't covered in the books I had purchased and practiced from though. There were things I had not learned about at all and so I had to make some educated guesses.

Reply from Teachers Test Prep

Hi Tasha, Thanks for your review. We're glad you found our test prep helpful and found the content easy to understand. Our programs are based on the content specifications issued by the testing service. Because these can be extremely broad, we try to give students enough understanding of the underlying content so that they can adapt what they have learnt to the questions they are presented with on the exam. A large component of this is utilizing test strategy, which it sounds like you were doing when you were making educated guesses. We hope that you did well in your exam!

Helpful!!

I believe the teacher was amazing and done a great job. I wish we had another day to practice writing.

Reply from Teachers Test Prep

Hi Sunny, we're so happy you found our Zoom prep class helpful! Thank you also for your feedback about more time for additional practice - this is helpful for us to have as we review our class formats. Good luck on your exam!

The class was only 3 classes long of two hours each and the teacher ended the last one 45 minutes early. If a class is only 6 hours long each hour should be utilized not 5 hours and 15 minutes. I felt like for the price we should have kept going over the material or going over practice tests.

I really enjoyed the teacher and he gave helpful hints.
I am taking the test next week and looking forward to how I do.

Reply from Teachers Test Prep

Hi Riley, Thank you for letting us know about the class ending early. While we're glad that you generally enjoyed the teacher's style and found his advice helpful, we definitely agree with you that the full class time should be utilized and apologize for your experience with this. We are currently following up with the teacher. Would it be possible for you to email us directly at info@teacherstestprep.com so that we can also follow up with you? We want our students to be able to get the full benefit of classes and will do all we can to rectify this situation before your exam.

I've taken the RICA several times and finally passed. I found that using this website helped with planning out specific examples on the essay portion and going into specifics about each domain. The roadmap was a good guide for tracking which areas to study too. I also recommend purchasing the book "Ready for RICA". They have great tips on test taking and how to organize your essay. Good luck!

Reply from Teachers Test Prep

Hi Jean, congratulations on passing RICA - that must be a huge relief! We're delighted our online prep helped you plan your constructed responses and learn all your key content. It's great that the roadmap tool came in handy too. Thanks for taking the time to let us know how you went!

Teachers Test Prep helped me pass the 1st time!

Teachers Test Prep helped me on the fundamental aspects of the exam. I spent a few hours everyday watching the videos and taking notes. Once the allotted time (or access) to the videos ended, I studied my notes up until the test date. I passed the first time. I highly recommend the program.

I felt overall I learned a lot in the test prep but when it came to the test there were some things that were not discussed at all. Not sure if it's just a matter of information needing to be updated or what. I wish there were more sample tests or questions to work on as well so that we could get a better handle of the information.

Reply from Teachers Test Prep

Hi Sara, we're glad to hear that our program was generally helpful in preparing for your exam. We create our programs based on the content specifications which the testing service issues, and review and revise them when the specs are updated. As the specs are quite extensive, the amount of detail we can go into for every topic is limited. However, we aim to give students enough understanding of the underlying content so that they can adapt this to the questions they are presented with on their exam. If you feel there are general topics which we have not covered, or haven’t covered in sufficient detail, please let us know so that we can investigate further - this type of feedback is really useful for us to have. You can email us at info@teacherstestprep.com

Thank you too for your suggestion about additional practice tests. We understand that these are a valuable tool that help students apply their knowledge, and hope to have more available in the future.

Ms. Katherine was my teacher for the CBEST prep class. She is absolutely wonderful throughout entire CBEST (Math, Reading, and Writing) preparation classes. I found out which specific component of each subject to really focus on before retaking my CBEST exam. I re-studied all her detailed notes, practiced daily math, reading, and writing exercises from Ms. Katherine's class, Teachers Test Prep practice CBEST tests and all other resources. Thank you Ms. Katherine so much for the time you spent to help me and the other students prepare adequately for our exam!

Reply from Teachers Test Prep

We're delighted you found Katherine's CBEST prep class so valuable! It sounds like you feel confident and ready for your exams. All the best, and do let us know how you do!

Subtes I with Tod

Tod was an excellent teacher. Very clear and easy to understand. Gave lots of information and was super clear about answering any questions. After taking his class I feel more confident about taking the exam. I’ve taken the exam 3 times and not passed, wish me luck as I go in to take it tomorrow evening. Thank you
