  • Reading
  • Writing
  • Mathematics

 The above basic English Language educational skills are needed and used by all school practitioners. The test does not measure teaching expertise or abilities, but basic skills needed by professional staff in schools with kindergarten to grade 12 academic programs and in adult education.

CBEST is administered by National Evaluations Systems, Inc. For more information about the exam and to register for specific exam dates, go to their website at www.ctcexams.nesinc.com/.
