CBEST Structure and Format

CBEST Scoring System

Paper-Based Registration

Registration Reminders

• Once you have successfully registered for the CBEST, you will then receive a series of email notifications regarding your registration status.
• The CBEST registration usually closes about 4 to 5 weeks before the administration of the exam.
• Computer-based testing is typically done by appointment and follows a first-come, first-serve ruling.
• CBEST slots tend to fill up quickly, thus you need to be updated with the registration dates.
• Late fees apply on the paper-based test. The CTC charges $18 on top of the original fee to test-takers who registered late. On the other hand, for test-takers who signed up for the test in an extremely late timetable, an emergency fee of $35 will apply in addition to the original testing registration fee.
