It is the Content Specialty Test and yes, it is multi-subject. I hated those tests!

i think so. i took them all but i have been teaching 9 years. Things might have changed. Go to that site I think it is up to date. I feel for you... those tests are long and expensive. I don't miss that!

It doesn't matter when you graduated - If you were never certified, you are under the same guidelines as any new teacher, so you have to take them. You also need to take the LAST and the ATS-W if you are Elem. Ed - I'm not sure of the Secondary Ed. requirements. HTH
