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 in the areas of 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 (read below) - to determine your readiness for college-level work. Based on how you perform, you may either be enrolled in a college-level course and/or be placed in the appropriate developmental course or intervention to improve your skills and prepare you for success in college-level courses.
Exemptions:
Scored a 23 or higher on the ACT composite and a minimum of 19 on both the English and math tests;
SAT: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) minimum score of 480, Mathematics minimum score of 530 (no combined score needed);
Veterans, active duty personnel, and a student who is serving as and, for at least 3 years preceding enrollment, has served as a member of a reserve component of the U.S. armed services;
Transfer from another institution having satisfactorily completed college-level coursework; or
Enroll in a certificate program of one year or less (Level One certificates) at a public institution.
***Please note that the EOC exemption LEHS uses for dual credit courses is only valid for dual credit courses at Texarkana College. This does not include mini-mesters, and any coursework taken on your own (not registering through LE).
LEHS offers the TSI to current students. First you must complete the Pre-Assessment Activity. Once you complete this, forward your confirmation email to Mrs. Ford & she will arrange a testing date & location for you.
