Re: Is the CSET required prior to being hired?

Whether that matters will depend on the school district. If
you're highly qualified by some other avenue (e.g., a
bachelor's degree in the subject you plan to teach), it may not
make a difference. If not, you'd better take the CSET, because
the schools hiring non-HQ teachers these days are few, far
between, and generally not places most teachers would care to
work in.

The only study guide I used was the one on the CSET website,
and I passed with high marks. Their guides are pretty
comprehensive (and after all, they're written by the people who
actually publish the test), so check out the online freebies
before you fork over any money for a prep course.
