TSI Assessment
What is the TSI Assessment?
The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Assessment is the only approved assessment instrument for all students attending a public college. The state mandated program is designed to help determine if the student is ready for college-level course work in the general areas of reading, writing, and mathematics.
The TSI Assessment minimum passing standards for college readiness are:
- Mathematics = 950 + or < 950 an Diagnostic = 6
- ELAR = 945+ with an essay of 5+ or ELAR < 945 with an essay of 5+ and Diagnostic of 5 or 6
Students who score below the cut scores are placed in the appropriate developmental course and will need to earn a "C" or better.
