Data SummaryThe majority of students were unable to develop a plan for studying for the English CBEST or CSET exams, even at the end of the course. They had little knowledge of the exams, even after completing the course.
Analysis SummaryStudents particularly liked knowing they they can do the three parts of the test in any order and they they can skip around during the test without penalty.
