• What is the TSI2 Assessment?

    The TSI Assessment (TSIA) is part of the Texas Success Initiative program designed to help your college or university determine if you are ready for college level course work.  The multiple choise tests focuses on the areas that are tested are reading, writing, and mathematics.   If you are an incoming college student in Texas, you are required to take the TSI Assessment, unless you are already exempt (look at the section below)- to determine your college-level coursework readiness.  Based on your performance, you may either be enrolled in a college-level course or be placed in a remedial course that provides intervention to improve your skills and prepare for college-level courses. *Also, those students who plan on enrolling in our dual credit program and early college students should take the TSI test.

    As seniors begin applying to colleges, remember that all Texas public colleges have access to a state TSI score database from which they can pull TSI scores from all around the state upon student request.  The tricky part is knowing how to request that they do so!
