Q: How do I become CCMR met?
A: There are several different pathways to achieve CCM Readiness.
Q: Am I required to earn a CCMR indicator in order to graduate?
A: Being CCMR met is NOT a graduation requirement. However, RISD does expect all students to meet or exceed their CCMR measurements to put them on the best path toward post-secondary success.
Q: What is the TSIA2 test?
A: The TSI Assessment2 (TSIA2) is part of the Texas Success Initiative enacted by the Texas State Legislature and is designed to determine a student’s readiness for college-level coursework in the general areas of reading, writing, and mathematics. The TSIA2 is administered through the College Board’s Accuplacer digital platform. For nearly 10 years, the TSIA2 (or one of its exemptions) has been required for students entering any Texas college or university (including Community College). RISD offers the TSIA2 test to students in the Spring of their sophomore year.
