If you're training to become a public school teacher and have the CBEST exam coming up, Varsity Tutors can help you prepare for it with CBEST prep courses. Taking a CBEST class is an in-depth way to get ready for this important test. You'll be able to work with a qualified instructor in a series of one-on-one learning sessions. If you think you would benefit from a CBEST course, then consider contacting Varsity Tutors today to get started.
CBEST prep classes are generally taken by individuals who are working towards obtaining their public school teaching credentials in the state of Oregon or California. The CBEST exam is designed to assess how prepared you are to instruct students on important subjects like reading, mathematics, and writing. To accomplish this goal, the exam is split into the following three sections:
The CBEST consists of 3 sections:
| Topic | Type | Questions |
| Reading | multiple-choice | 50 |
| Mathematics | multiple-choice | 50 |
| Writing | essays | 2 |
A CBEST course can help you with whatever part of the exam you need the most help preparing for. This is possible because your CBEST prep class sessions will take place in a one-on-one setting between just you and your instructor. This ensures that you can get personalized advice and feedback throughout every stage of your study plan. For example, if you'd like help with developing a plan to tackle the CBEST Writing section, your teacher can spend more time with you on this part of your exam preparation and less time on sections you may already feel more confident in. When you sign up for a CBEST prep course with Varsity Tutors, you'll truly get a personalized learning experience. This type of focused guidance can make your overall studying experience more effective and efficient than would be possible if preparing for the CBEST alone.
Below, you'll find more information on the format and time limits of the CBEST exam:
Test Time
- 4 hours for 1, 2, or all 3 sections
- 15 minutes to complete a nondisclosure agreement and tutorial
- Any time taken for breaks is considered part of your available testing time.
In addition to helping you develop a stronger understanding of the subjects that are tested on the CBEST, your instructor can also discuss test-taking strategies with you. They can help you with things like time-management while taking your test. CBEST prep classes offer a chance to learn from someone who is an expert on test-taking. Thus, you'll also be able to get useful advice on how to reduce test-day anxiety and remain calm and focused while taking your upcoming exam. If you've ever felt overwhelmed while taking an important test, these strategies could revolutionize your test-taking experience. These are some of the many benefits that you may experience while taking a personalized CBEST class with an experienced instructor.
The CBEST is an important exam because it has the potential to impact how soon you can begin your career as a public school teacher in Oregon or California. That's why it's vital that you have a strong test preparation plan in place while you prepare to take it. Varsity Prep can help you build a better study plan with an in-depth CBEST course. If you value personalized lesson plans and direct feedback from your test prep instructor, then you may be interested in taking a CBEST class. Get in touch with us today to get started.
