CSET Writing Exam
The Writing Exam has two parts, the first part is a constructed answer demonstrating mastery of expository writing, and the second part is a constructed answer demonstrating mastery of expressive writing. One of the writing pieces deals with analyzing a statement or situation. The second writing piece requires the candidate to write about a personal experience. This exam does not require or look for specific knowledge on any given topic. The entire focus is on writing ability. The writing should be clear and well written in addition to there being no spelling or grammatical errors. The writing exam is only offered in the afternoon, not in during the morning sessions. It is available on all test dates.
If you disagree with the score you are given on the Writing Exam, you may ask to have the score verified for a small fee. Your exam will be rescored the next time the Writing Exam is given. If your appeal is successful in getting you additional points on your score, the verification fee will be refunded to you. If the score stands, the fee will not be refunded.
