Overview
Study with REA and Get Your BEST Score on the CBEST!
Updated 7th Edition with Online Practice Exams!
Every year, tens of thousands of teacher candidates take the California Basic Educational Skills Test, or CBEST, to meet the basic skills requirement in California. Let REA get you ready for test day with our trusted content and practical advice!
Written by specialists in teacher education, REA’s updated CBEST test prep helps prospective teachers in California prepare for this important exam and get licensed. (The test is also accepted in six other states: Alaska, Delaware, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington; check with your teacher-licensing agency for details.)
Completely up-to-date and fully aligned with the latest test specifications, our comprehensive review chapters cover the Reading, Writing, and Mathematics material tested on the CBEST.
Targeted drills, lessons, and key tutorials in each chapter enhance the specific skills you need to succeed on the test, while reinforcing what you’ve learned as you study. The test prep comes complete with a customized study schedule and REA’s expert test-taking strategies and tips.
A diagnostic test plus two full-length practice exams help you refresh your knowledge and focus on areas in need of improvement. Both of the book’s exams are available online at the REA Study Center (www.rea.com/studycenter) and feature automatic scoring and topic-level score reports to help you zero in on the topics and types of questions that give you trouble now, so you’ll succeed when it counts!
Detailed explanations of answers help you identify your strengths and weaknesses. We don’t just say which answers are right – we also explain why the other answer choices are incorrect – so you’ll be prepared on test day!
