It is a two-hour essay exam administered to admitted high school seniors in May of each year. The tests are administered primarily to seniors in high school who have been accepted into the CSU system. Answer sheets and essays are received and scored out of the Oakland Office. Campus rosters and student individual score reports are produced and mailed from the Oakland Office as well. Through the scoring process, staff evaluate candidate work in relevant test subject areas such as English, math, science, foreign languages, human development, visual and performing arts, pedagogy, and physical education.
Readings are typically two full days and held on weekends.
Participants are reimbursed for travel expenses and lunch is provided. In order to qualify, you must hold a California teaching credential, and teach at an elementary, middle or high school, or at a community college, college or university. The Oakland office supports its clients and internal divisions with administrative and financial services including check processing, accounts receivable and payable, financial statement preparation, bank account management, and test center honoraria services. The office also houses staff members of the ETS Teaching and Learning, and Research divisions. All rights reserved.
