ADVISORY As a result of the federal “No Child Left Behind” (NCLB) requirements, elementary teacher credential candidates admitted to a program after July 1, 2004 will be required to pass the CSET Multiple Subject Examination prior to enrollment in advanced student teaching and prior to obtaining a multiple subject credential in California.

MSAT Scores are valid for 5 years. The last valid MSAT exam date is January 11, 2003.
