CSET Science Preparation:
Science Subtest II
What is this course and who is it for?
This course is one of a series of courses intended to help
prepare teacher candidates in the field of mathematics and science for the
California Subject Examination for Teachers (CSET). Because this examination
series is broken into subtests, we follow that convention here. This course is
the second General Science Subtest course, which broadly covers the topics of
Biology/Life Science, Chemistry, and Thermodynamics. In this course, we cover each of the specific
knowledge areas listed for each content domain. It is particularly useful for
those who need a review in specific areas of science, or who have not had any
coursework recently. With such a wide range of subjects addressed in the General
Science tests, we recognize that there are those who will need additional
support to supplement what is offered in this freely available version of the
course and for that reason, the
University of California, Irvine Extension is offering an instructor-led
version that uses the same materials.
