Testens spørgsmål er på engelsk.
Read the passage: Many school districts have moved to later start times for teenagers. Sleep researchers note that adolescents' body clocks shift later during puberty, so a 7:30 a.m. bell can ask a student to wake at a time that feels like the middle of the night. Districts that moved their first bell back by an hour reported fewer late arrivals, though some had to rework bus routes and after-school sports. Which statement best expresses the main idea?

Om denne test
Denne gratis CBEST-øveprøve har 15 spørgsmål skrevet af StudyPDF-teamet, fem hver i læsning, matematik og skrivning. Den rigtige californiske CBEST har 50 læsespørgsmål, 50 matematikspørgsmål og to essays, så det her er en smagsprøve, der viser, hvor du står, ikke en prøve i fuld længde. Skrivespørgsmålene tjekker standard skriftligt engelsk og fokus, fordi et essay ikke kan bedømmes i en browserquiz. Svar på alle 15, og læs så forklaringen til hvert spørgsmål.

1.Read the passage: Many school districts have moved to later start times for teenagers. Sleep researchers note that adolescents' body clocks shift later during puberty, so a 7:30 a.m. bell can ask a student to wake at a time that feels like the middle of the night. Districts that moved their first bell back by an hour reported fewer late arrivals, though some had to rework bus routes and after-school sports. Which statement best expresses the main idea?
- A. Schools should end after-school sports to save money.
- B. Bus routes are the main reason districts avoid change.
- C. Teenagers need less sleep than younger children.
- D. Later start times fit teenagers' sleep patterns and brought benefits, though they require schedule changes.
Svar: D. Later start times fit teenagers' sleep patterns and brought benefits, though they require schedule changes.
A main idea has to cover the whole passage: why teenagers struggle with early bells, what districts saw after the change, and the cost in schedules. The first choice and the third are never claimed, and the second takes one side detail and treats it as the whole point. When you check a main idea, ask whether it leaves out a big part of the passage or adds something the writer never says.
2.Read the directions: Sand the surface, then wipe off the dust with a damp cloth. Apply one coat of primer and let it dry for two hours. Paint the first coat only after the primer is dry, and add a second coat the next day. According to the directions, what should you do right after applying the primer?
- A. Sand the surface again
- B. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth
- C. Wait two hours for the primer to dry
- D. Apply a second coat of paint
Svar: C. Wait two hours for the primer to dry
The directions put the steps in order: sand, wipe, prime, wait, paint, then a second coat the next day. Right after the primer comes the two-hour wait. Sanding and wiping come before the primer, and the second coat is the last step, a day later. For sequence questions, number the steps in the margin as you read and look for time words like then, after and the next day.
3.Read the passage: A town is considering a parking fee at its beach to pay for lifeguards. Opponents say the fee will keep lower-income families away. Which statements would strengthen the opponents' claim? Select all that apply.
Vælg alle, der passer.
- A. A survey found that most households earning under $30,000 reach the beach on foot because they have no car.
- B. In a nearby town, beach visits by families in the free-lunch program fell by a third after a parking fee began.
- C. The proposed fee is about the price of a movie ticket.
- D. Several lower-income residents told the council they would stop visiting if the fee were charged.
- E. In some towns, lifeguards are paid partly from parking fees.
Svar: B. In a nearby town, beach visits by families in the free-lunch program fell by a third after a parking fee began., D. Several lower-income residents told the council they would stop visiting if the fee were charged.
A statement strengthens the claim only if it makes it more likely that the fee would keep lower-income families away. A similar town losing visits and residents saying they would stay home both do that. The first statement actually weakens the claim, since people who walk would not pay a parking fee at all. The movie ticket comparison is an argument for the fee, and the lifeguard funding fact says nothing about who would visit.
4.A school posts this table. Club: Chess, 18 members, 4 meetings a month. Robotics, 25 members, 6 meetings. Drama, 31 members, 2 meetings. Garden, 12 members, 4 meetings. Which conclusion is supported by the table?
- A. Robotics has more members than any other club.
- B. The club with the most members meets the fewest times a month.
- C. Chess and Garden together have as many members as Drama.
- D. Garden meets more often than Chess.
Svar: B. The club with the most members meets the fewest times a month.
Drama has the most members at 31 and the fewest meetings at 2. Robotics has 25 members, fewer than Drama. Chess and Garden add up to 18 + 12 = 30, which is one short of 31, and both clubs meet 4 times a month, so neither meets more often. On table questions, test every number a choice mentions before you pick it.
5.Read the sentence: Although two earlier prototypes had failed, the engineer remained sanguine about the third attempt, pointing to the improved test results. As used in the sentence, sanguine most nearly means
- A. optimistic
- B. doubtful
- C. indifferent
- D. embarrassed
Svar: A. optimistic
The clues are although and pointing to the improved test results. The sentence sets two failures against hope, and the engineer cites good evidence, so the word has to mean confident or hopeful. Doubtful would repeat the failures instead of contrasting with them, and nothing suggests indifference or embarrassment. Use the clues in the sentence rather than what you already think the word means.
6.A tutor charges a $15 materials fee plus $12 for each hour of tutoring. A parent paid $63 in all. For how many hours was the tutor paid?
- A. 3
- B. 4
- C. 5
- D. 6
Svar: B. 4
Write the setup first: 12h + 15 = 63. Subtract the fee, 63 - 15 = 48, then divide by 12 to get 4 hours. You can check it by working forward: 4 hours at $12 is $48, and $48 plus $15 is $63. Checking by working forward takes ten seconds and catches most slips.
7.A recipe uses 3/4 cup of milk for each batch. How much milk is needed for 6 batches?
- A. 3 1/2 cups
- B. 4 cups
- C. 4 1/2 cups
- D. 6 3/4 cups
Svar: C. 4 1/2 cups
Multiply the amount per batch by the number of batches: 6 x 3/4 = 18/4, which is 4 1/2. A quick check by estimation: 3/4 is a little less than 1, so 6 batches should need a little less than 6 cups, and 4 1/2 fits. The choice 6 3/4 comes from adding 6 and 3/4 instead of multiplying.
8.Which of these are equal to 3/8? Select all that apply.
Vælg alle, der passer.
- A. 0.375
- B. 37.5%
- C. 6/16
- D. 3/5
- E. 0.38
Svar: A. 0.375, B. 37.5%, C. 6/16
Divide 3 by 8 and you get 0.375, and moving the decimal two places gives 37.5 percent. Doubling the top and bottom of 3/8 gives 6/16. The fraction 3/5 equals 0.6, and 0.38 is close to 0.375 but not equal to it. Without a calculator, remember that 1/8 is 0.125, so 3/8 is 3 times that.
9.Complete the sentence.
Five students scored 70, 85, 90, 75 and 95 on a quiz. The mean score is _____ and the median score is _____.
Muligheder for felt 1: 80, 83, 85, 90
Muligheder for felt 2: 80, 83, 85, 90
Svar: 83, 85
The scores add up to 70 + 85 + 90 + 75 + 95 = 415, and 415 divided by 5 is 83, the mean. For the median, put the scores in order, 70, 75, 85, 90, 95, and take the middle one, which is 85. The mean uses every value, so one low score pulls it below the median here, while the median only cares about position.
10.A bag holds 3 red marbles, 4 blue marbles and 3 green marbles. One marble is drawn without looking. What is the probability that it is not blue?
- A. 2/5
- B. 1/2
- C. 7/10
- D. 3/5
Svar: D. 3/5
There are 3 + 4 + 3 = 10 marbles in all, and 4 of them are blue, so 6 are not blue. The probability is 6/10, which simplifies to 3/5. A shortcut: the chance of not blue is 1 minus the chance of blue, 1 - 4/10 = 6/10. The choice 7/10 comes from subtracting only the 3 red marbles.
11.Which sentence uses parallel structure correctly?
- A. The new hire learns to file records, to answer phones and to greet visitors.
- B. The new hire learns to file records, answering phones, and to greet visitors.
- C. The new hire learns filing records, answers phones, and greeting visitors.
- D. The new hire learns to file records, answer phones and greeting visitors.
Svar: A. The new hire learns to file records, to answer phones and to greet visitors.
Items in a list should have the same grammatical form. The first choice repeats to plus a verb three times, so it is parallel. The other three mix forms, such as to file, answering and to greet, or filing, answers and greeting. When you check a list, say each item with the same lead-in words and see whether every item still fits.
12.Choose the correct word for each blank.
Neither the principal nor the teachers _____ aware of the change, and the stack of graded essays _____ still on my desk.
Muligheder for felt 1: was, were, is, has been
Muligheder for felt 2: were, was, are, have been
Svar: were, was
With neither and nor, the verb agrees with the subject closest to it. Teachers is plural, so the first blank takes were. In the second part, the subject is stack, not essays, and stack is singular, so it takes was. Ignore the words between the subject and the verb: of graded essays is only a description of the stack.
13.Choose the best transition.
Our first draft listed every fact we found. _____, the final version includes only the three facts that support the thesis.
Muligheder for felt 1: For example, In contrast, Similarly, Therefore
Svar: In contrast
The second sentence describes the opposite approach to the first: all of the facts against just three. In contrast signals that turn. For example would need the second sentence to illustrate the first, similarly would need it to match, and therefore would need the first to be the reason for the second, which it is not. Read the two sentences and name the relationship before you look at the choices.
14.Which of these are complete sentences, not fragments? Select all that apply.
Vælg alle, der passer.
- A. Because the bus was late.
- B. The students waited outside until the bell rang.
- C. Running to catch the train before it left.
- D. After the assembly, the principal thanked the volunteers.
- E. Stay behind after class.
Svar: B. The students waited outside until the bell rang., D. After the assembly, the principal thanked the volunteers., E. Stay behind after class.
A complete sentence has a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought. The second and fourth have both, and the last is a command whose subject, you, is understood. Because the bus was late leaves the reader waiting for what happened, and Running to catch the train has no subject or main verb. A word like because at the start of a clause is a warning sign that the thought may be unfinished.
15.Which sentence works best as the thesis of a short essay arguing that every school should schedule a daily recess?
- A. Recess is something that schools have.
- B. Many people have different opinions about recess.
- C. Daily recess helps students concentrate, stay active and get along better, so every school should schedule it.
- D. I am going to write about recess.
Svar: C. Daily recess helps students concentrate, stay active and get along better, so every school should schedule it.
A thesis states a position and previews the reasons, so a reader knows what the essay will argue. The third choice does both: it says what schools should do and gives three reasons to support it. The first and second say nothing a reader could agree or disagree with, and the fourth announces a topic instead of making a claim. Essay graders look for exactly this kind of focus.
Hvad CBEST dækker, og hvor den står i dag
California Basic Educational Skills Test, eller CBEST, måler læse-, matematik- og skrivefærdigheder for undervisere i Californien. Ifølge California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) har den tre dele, som du tilmelder dig og tager hver for sig: Reading med 50 spørgsmål med svarmuligheder på 1 time og 30 minutter, Mathematics med 50 spørgsmål med svarmuligheder på 2 timer og Writing med to essays på 1 time og 30 minutter. Alt foregår på engelsk, og regnemaskine er ikke tilladt. Du kan tage prøven i et testcenter eller med en tilsynsførende online.
Før du booker noget, så tjek, om du overhovedet skal bruge den. CTC's egen CBEST-side siger, at CBEST ikke længere kræves til de fleste undervisningsbeviser, hvis du har en bachelorgrad, og deres hæfte om Basic Skills Requirement, CL-667, oplister måderne at opfylde kravet på. At bestå CBEST er én af dem, og godkendte collegekurser og nogle andre prøver er andre. Et program eller en arbejdsgiver kan stadig bede om den, så bekræft, hvad dit kræver.
CTC fastsætter beståelsesgrænsen og reglerne for, hvordan delscorer tæller, og de har ændret sig gennem årene, så denne side nævner dem ikke. Læs afsnittet om scorer på CTC's CBEST-side, før du tilmelder dig. Indholdet kommer fra CTC's offentliggjorte testspecifikationer. Reading dækker hovedbudskaber, slutninger, fakta kontra holdninger, hvor stærkt et argument er, samt tabeller og grafer. Math dækker brøker, decimaltal og procent, ligninger med én ubekendt, gennemsnit, sandsynlighed, overslag og grafer. Writing dækker klarhed, fokus, belæg og standard skriftligt engelsk. De to essays er ét om en oplevelse, du husker, og ét, der forklarer eller analyserer en idé.
Sådan øver du læsning, matematik og skrivning
Start med tempo, for den rigtige prøve er strammere, end den ser ud. Læsedelen giver dig cirka 1,8 minut per spørgsmål og matematikdelen cirka 2,4 minutter per spørgsmål, uden regnemaskine. Skrivedelen giver dig 90 minutter til to essays, så regn med cirka 45 minutter til hvert.
Læsning. Beslut, hvad spørgsmålet beder om, før du læser teksten igen, og svar kun ud fra teksten. Et hovedbudskab skal dække hele teksten, ikke én detalje. Ved fakta kontra holdning skal du lede efter ord som bedst, smukkest eller bør. Ved spørgsmål om et argument skal du spørge, om et nyt faktum gør påstanden mere eller mindre sandsynlig. Ved tabeller skal du afprøve hvert tal, en svarmulighed nævner, før du vælger.
Matematik. Øv i hånden. Skriv opstillingen, før du regner, vurder størrelsen på svaret først, og skift mellem brøker, decimaltal og procent, til det går af sig selv: 3/8 er 0,375 og 37,5 procent. Kend forskel på gennemsnit og median, og tjek enhederne. Fordi spørgsmålene har svarmuligheder, fjerner et hurtigt overslag ofte to af dem.
Skrivning. De fem skrivespørgsmål her tjekker det, essaybedømmerne også kigger efter: sætninger, der er klare, fokuserede og i standard skriftligt engelsk. Lær de almindelige fejl, som er kommafejl mellem to hovedsætninger, sætninger uden samling, overensstemmelse mellem subjekt og verbum, pronomenets kasus og svage overgange. Denne side kan ikke bedømme et essay. Til det skal du skrive ét ud fra CTC's offentliggjorte opgaver med en timer: planlæg i fem minutter, skriv din holdning i første afsnit, giv hvert afsnit i midten én grund med ét eksempel, og spar et par minutter til at gennemlæse.
En ærlig bemærkning: StudyPDF-teamet har skrevet hvert spørgsmål her ud fra CTC's offentliggjorte CBEST-testspecifikationer. Ingen af dem er rigtige CBEST-spørgsmål, ingen stammer fra et forberedelsesfirmas bank, og StudyPDF er ikke tilknyttet CTC, Pearson eller NES. CTC udgiver selv en øveprøve til hver del på sit eksamenssted, hvis du vil have spørgsmål fra testudbyderen.
Sådan bygger du flere øveprøver ud fra dit eget materiale
Femten spørgsmål kan vise dig, hvilken del der kræver mest arbejde. De kan ikke gøre dig klar alene, især ikke hvis dit program har givet dig sit eget hæfte, eller din forberedelsesbog lægger vægt på ét område.
StudyPDF tager i stedet udgangspunkt i dit materiale. Upload din studieguide, en forberedelsesbog, dine noter fra timerne eller det hæfte, dit program gav dig. Tryk derefter på Nyt materiale, vælg en øveprøve, vælg de filer som kilder, og bestem, hvor lang den skal være. Du får en prøve skrevet ud fra præcis de sider, og hver forklaring henviser til, hvor svaret kommer fra. Kør en på ét enkelt område, for eksempel brøker og procent eller kommafejl, og gentag den, når du har repeteret.
Bo er tutoren til resten. Spørg ham, hvorfor et svar er rigtigt, så forklarer han det ud fra dine egne sider, med et hint først, hvis du vil have det.
Du behøver ikke uploade noget for at komme i gang. Nævn i stedet et emne, for eksempel slutninger eller procentvis ændring, så får du øvespørgsmål om det. En gratis konto er nok til at komme i gang, og Free dækker cirka fire nye materialer om ugen, mens Pro og Ultra dækker flere.

Godt at vide
Kræves CBEST stadig i Californien?
Det afhænger af dit bevis og din vej. CTC's CBEST-side siger, at den ikke længere kræves til de fleste undervisningsbeviser, hvis du har en bachelorgrad, og hæftet om Basic Skills Requirement, CL-667, oplister måderne at opfylde kravet på. Et program eller en arbejdsgiver kan stadig bede om den, så spørg dit, før du tilmelder dig.
Hvor mange spørgsmål er der på den rigtige CBEST?
Ifølge CTC har Reading 50 spørgsmål med svarmuligheder, Mathematics har 50, og Writing er to essays. Denne side er en smagsprøve på 15 spørgsmål, fem hver i læsning, matematik og skrivning. Tjek CTC's side for det aktuelle format og tidsgrænsen for hver del.
Må jeg bruge regnemaskine på CBEST?
Nej. CTC oplyser, at regnemaskiner er forbudt, så matematikspørgsmålene her er skrevet til at blive løst i hånden. Øv på den måde, med brøker, decimaltal og procent, og vurder svaret, før du regner.
Hvem har skrevet spørgsmålene, og hvad med beståelsesgrænsen?
StudyPDF-teamet har skrevet hvert spørgsmål og hver forklaring ud fra CTC's offentliggjorte testspecifikationer. Det er ikke rigtige CBEST-spørgsmål, og StudyPDF er ikke tilknyttet CTC, Pearson eller NES. Beståelsesgrænsen og måden, delene kombineres på, fastsættes af CTC og kan ændre sig, så denne side nævner dem ikke og bedømmer ikke essays.
Har du brug for mere end en smagsprøve?
Upload din egen eksamensbog, dine slides eller noter, så bygger Bo fulde øveprøver ud fra præcis dit materiale, holder styr på de begreber du bliver ved med at ramme forkert, og går efter dine svage punkter. Gratis at komme i gang.
