If my assumption is correct, the answer may be “yes” depending on the specific credential you are seeking. Learn more about this at http://www.cset.nesinc.com/CS13_certrequirements.asp

You didn’t ask about CBEST (California Basic Education Skills Test), but this should also be on your list. Learn more about this one at http://www.cbest.nesinc.com/CA13_requirements.asp

And just in case you may need to triple check your checklist for completeness, here is the link to the CA commission on teacher credentialing http://www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/

Hope this helps you…best wishes in your pursuits.

It’s not that hard at all. You will do fine. Think of it as a Jeopardy game OR are you smarter than a 5th grader…LOL. One tip, I had to do an essay on Confucianism, for the history part, or was it humanities…hmmm…Anyhow, for some strange reason I knew it would be there and someone else told me it would be on it too so I feel it’s my duty to warn you too, OK? LOL! Read the study book and you will do fine.
