Like any major life hurdle, the CSET exam carries with it a great deal of anticipation, fear, costs, and challenges. Yet taking the CSET exam need not strike fear into your heart. In fact, a minor amount of advance planning can dramatically boost your confidence as well as your exam score. While CSET exam preparation will still require considerable time and effort, knowing how to prepare will make all the difference in the world.

THE TOP 5 WAYS TO PREPARE FOR THE CSET EXAM

1. KNOW YOUR ENEMY
To keep the CSET from becoming the monster in your closet, you should know it as well as the proverbial back of your hand. Study the structure of the CSET exam until you know it in your sleep. The last thing you need on exam day is to waste time reading the directions or figuring out how to answer the questions. Make the CSET automatic and you’ll eliminate a great deal of stress.

Consider the amount of time you have available-both how many weeks until the test and how many hours you can devote each week to CSET exam preparation-and design a study plan that best fits your situation.

In addition to learning the CSET traps, develop strategies for pacing yourself and answering various types of questions, as well as for guessing and eliminating careless mistakes. All of these will maximize your most valuable CSET resources: time and confidence.

5. READY FOR LIFTOFF?
Most couples don’t wait until the week before their wedding to start planning: neither should you wait for the last minute to decide how to spend the final hours before your CSET exam. The more attention you give to such matters as what to bring and how you’ll arrange to wake up and get to the testing center, the more comfortable you’ll be when the test begins. This
