The CBEST serves two purposes in addition to certification. First, it may be required as a condition of employment. Applicants should contact the school district where they are considering employment for more information about this requirement. Second, the CBEST must be taken for diagnostic purposes prior to the final deadline for application for admission to a teacher preparation program. Contact the college or university education department for more information about this requirement.
Individuals only need to pass the CBEST once; CBEST passing scores remain valid indefinitely for all credential and employment purposes. To pass the CBEST, one must obtain a minimum scaled score of 41 in each of the three sections-reading, writing, and mathematics. However, a section score as low as 37 is acceptable if the total scaled score is at least 123. Any or all sections of the CBEST can be repeated as many times as necessary to obtain a passing score, but the full registration fee is charged for each test administration.
2. An additional credential, certificate, or permit to teach when the applicant holds a non-emergency California teaching credential which required a bachelor's degree
3. Credentials issued solely for teaching adults in apprenticeship programs
4. Designated Subjects Credentials for which a bachelor's degree is not required
5. Certificates of Clearance
6. Child Development Permits
7. Health Services Credentials, unless the document also authorizes teaching
8. Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Education Specialist Instruction Credential, for prelingually deaf applicants*
9. School Counseling, School Psychology, and School Social Work Services Credentials, for prelingually deaf applicants*
1. Exchange Credentials
2. One-Year Nonrenewable (OYNR) Credentials (Services
credentials and some teaching credentials may be issued to applicants
who have completed their professional training outside of California and
who have met all of the requirements for an initial California credential
except for a passing score on the CBEST. Applicants for the OYNR credential
must submit a completed application packet through a California school
district or county office of education that includes written verification
that they have offered employment to the credential applicant, and the
applicant has passed a basic skills test developed by the district or
county. The district basic skills test does not replace the CBEST, which
must still be taken and passed during the first year of employment.)
3. Out-of-State trained holders of the preliminary multiple
subject, single subject, and education specialist credentials must pass
the CBEST during the first year of certification

What is the
purpose of the CBEST?
The CBEST provides a general measurement of
basic proficiency in (1) Reading, (2) Writing, and (3) Mathematics, in
English. The CBEST fulfills the California requirements of laws relating
to credentialing and employment.
Who must take
the CBEST?
The CBEST is taken by individuals:
* Applying for a first teaching credential or service credential
* Applying for the issuance or renewal of an Emergency Permit, unless you already hold a valid California teaching credential for which a baccalaureate degree is required.
* Have not taught in a school district during the 39 months prior to new employment, the CBEST may also be required under Education Code Section 44830 as a condition of employment. If you are uncertain about whether the CBEST is required for employment, you should contact the school district where you are considering employment.
* You are applying for admission to California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC) approved teacher preparation program, unless you already hold a valid California teacher credential for which a baccalaureate degree is required.
* You are applying for admission to a CCTC approved service credential program.
When should
the CBEST be taken?
Each University/Employer has specific deadlines
for submission of test scores. You should therefore allow appropriate
time for the receipt of scores.
The College of Extended Learning offers preparation
classes for the CBEST. Study guides are available at the Campus Bookstore
and most mall bookstores.
