The TSI Assessment is approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board as the suite of tests that accurately and efficiently assesses reading, writing, and mathematics to satisfy Texas Success Initiative (TSI) requirements. 

The State of Texas requires each person to complete a TSI Pre-Assessment prior to initially taking the TSI Assessment. The Pre-Assessment can be taken at home.

• ELAR Essay Policy Change

  • The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) made a TSIA2 Test Administration Policy Change. As of January 3, 2023, students scoring at Level 3 on the ELAR diagnostic test are now being routed to the essay. This change increases the amount of data available to colleges in determining appropriate developmental education courses or intervention placements for high school students. In addition, the new policy gives many more students an opportunity to demonstrate writing proficiency and potentially qualify for the stand-alone ELAR CRC retest option.

  • For direct TSI policy-related questions or concerns regarding this change, please contact Keylan Morgan at keylan.morgan@highered.texas.gov.

  • For technical-assistance questions regarding this change, please contact Kathie Montognese at kmontognese@collegeboard.org.
