BASIC SKILLS REQUIREMENT

Introduction
The California Education Code and Title 5 Regulations specify, in most cases, that applicants for a
credential, certificate, or permit to serve in the public schools of California must verify basic skills
proficiency before the credential, certificate, or permit will be issued. For Preliminary Teaching
Credential candidates, the basic skills requirement must be met prior to serving as an intern. However,
institutions may require the basic skills requirement prior to program enrollment. Contact the college or
university education department for more information

The basic skills requirement may also be required as a condition of employment. Applicants should
contact the school district where they are considering employment for more information.

Options for Meeting the Basic Skills Requirement

Individuals may satisfy the basic skills requirement by one of the following methods:
1. Pass the CBEST
Individuals only need to pass The California Basic Educational Skills Test (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 score as low as 37 on an individual section 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. See www.ctcexams.nesinc.com for
more information.

2. Pass the CSET: Multiple Subjects Plus Writing Skills Examination

The California Subject Examinations for Teachers (CSET): Multiple Subjects examination has been
modified, adding an assessment of basic writing skills. Passage of the CSET: Writing Skills examination
(test #142) can be added to passage of the CSET: Multiple Subjects Examination (subtests #101, 214, &
103) to meet the basic skills requirement. Passing exam scores used to meet the basic skills requirement
only remain valid indefinitely. See www.ctcexams.nesinc.com for more information.

3. Pass the CSU Early Assessment Program or the CSU Placement Examinations
Passing scores on the California State University (CSU) Early Assessment Program (EAP) (English and
Mathematics sections) or the CSU Placement Examinations (English Placement Test [EPT] and Entry Level
Mathematics [ELM]) are sufficient to meet the basic skills requirement. See Coded Correspondence 09-
03 for additional information. Passing exam scores remain valid indefinitely for the purpose of meeting
the basic skills requirement. See Appendix Table 1 for passing scores.**

CL-667 12/2020 Page 1 of 15

4. Achieve Qualifying Score on the SAT or ACT
Previously, individuals having earned a score of 500 or higher on the Critical Reading (previously Verbal)
section of the SAT exam combined with a score of 550 or higher on the SAT Mathematics exam are
determined to have met the basic skills requirement.

A restructuring of the SAT Suite of Assessments has adjusted the qualifying scores on the revised
Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Mathematics examinations required to meet the basic skills
requirement. The new scores listed have been deemed by the College Board as equivalent to the scores
shown for the examinations as administered prior to this revision.

An individual having earned a score of 22 or higher on the ACT English exam combined with a score of 23
or higher on the ACT Mathematics exam is determined to have met the basic skills requirement. See
Appendix Tables 2-4.

5. College Board Advanced Placement (AP) Examinations

As noted in Coded Correspondence 15-03, students who achieve a score of 3 or higher on the College
Board AP English exam and AP Calculus or AP Statistics exam may also use these exam scores to meet
the basic skills requirement. See Appendix Table 5 for how the scores may be applied.

6. Pass a Basic Skills Examination from Another State

The Commission will accept basic skills examinations from other states. A photocopy of the score report
or letter from the testing agency verifying passage of the examination must be submitted with the
application packet. There is no recency requirement for the date the examination was passed. See the
chart Out-of-State Basic Skills Exams Guide in the Appendix at the end of this leaflet for a listing of
acceptable examinations from other states.

Submitting Scores to the Commission

Individuals filing applications directly to the Commission using the CSU, SAT/ACT, or AP exams to meet
the basic skills requirement must submit original passing score reports with their application packet.
Scores posted only on high school transcripts are not acceptable. Commission-approved program
sponsors or local employing agencies may submit a photocopy of the score report as long as the
program sponsor or agency has verified it actually received from the educator an original score report,
not a scanned or PDF copy.

Obtaining Duplicate Score Reports

For CSU Placement Tests (EAP, ELM, EPT)
Effective October 1, 2017, the English Placement Test (EPT) and Entry-Level Mathematics Exam
(ELM) are discontinued. As of September 30, 2019, Educational Testing Systems (ETS) no longer
provides these test results (https://www.ets.org/csu/about/?WT.ac=csu_38419_scores_results).

For SAT/AP/ACT
The testing agencies maintain files of test scores taken within the last few years online. Check the
testing agency’s website for details if you completed one of these examinations recently. These
agencies also maintain an archive of test results that date back for decades. For a fee, you can
request a copy of your archived test scores for each of these examinations.

Archived SAT scores may be requested by mail or by telephone. Check the College Board website for
the Archived Score Report Order Form or phone ordering directions and current duplicate report
fees using this link: https://sat.collegeboard.org/scores/send-old-sat-scores.

Information from the College Board on obtaining archived AP exam scores and the Archived AP
Scores Request Form may be found using this link: https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/help#faq56.

Information on obtaining archived ACT scores online, by phone, or by mail may be found using this
link: http://testprep.about.com/od/actfaq/ht/Old_ACT_Scores.htm.

Combining Examination Scores

Generally, as described in Coded Correspondence 09-03, there is no mixing and matching of different
sections of examinations that satisfy the BSR. For example, an individual cannot combine passage of the
mathematics section of the EAP, with the reading section of the CBEST, and the Writing section of the
CSET: Multiple Subjects Plus Writing examination.

However, since the EAP and EPT/ELM examinations were linked for CSU admission and placement, the
Commission will accept a combination of scores from the EAP and EPT/ELM Examinations to meet the
BSR as long as the individual passed a section of English and a section for Mathematics. For example, an
individual may combine passing scores of the Mathematics EAP and the CSU Placement Examination in
English (EPT) to satisfy the BSR. See Coded Correspondence 11-18.

Exemptions
Applicants for the following documents are exempt from the basic skills requirement:
1. Renewal, reissuance, or upgrading of existing non-emergency credentials, certificates, or permits
unless it is specifically indicated as a renewal requirement on the document

impairments. Prelingually deaf individuals who choose this option will be required to complete a
job-related assessment. See the Guide for Verifying the Proficiency of Prelingually Deaf
Credential Candidates found on the Commission’s website for complete details.

CL-667 12/2020 Page 3 of 15

Applicants for the following documents may serve on a credential for one year pending the completion
of the basic skills requirement:
• Exchange Credentials
• One-Year Nonrenewable (OYNR) Credentials (some services and 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 completion of
the basic skills requirement). 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 basic skills requirement.)
• Out-of-state prepared holders of the preliminary multiple subject, single subject, and education
specialist credentials must complete the basic skills requirement during the first year of
certification
