The Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSI) helps colleges determine if you are ready for college-level courses in math, reading, and writing.
The TSI includes:
Mathematics
Reading
Writing
Some students may be exempt from taking the TSI based on certain test scores or other requirements.
Doing well on the TSI can help you skip remedial classes, saving you time and money and allowing you to start college-level courses sooner.
