Leander ISD offers the School Day SAT to all juniors in the spring semester.
Students should test twice at a minimum. Regardless of the score on the first test, colleges want to see an attempt at improvement.

TSI (Texas Success Initiative)
TSI stands for Texas Success Initiative and is the standard by which Texas public post-secondary institutions evaluate a student's college readiness in reading, writing, and math. In a nutshell, if a student is not TSI complete, the college will assume a student is not ready to take on college-level coursework. In turn, the college will require the student to take developmental coursework to build knowledge and skills. This required developmental coursework costs money and prevents students from jumping right into courses that will apply toward the completion of a college degree. If we can avoid this coursework by proving students are TSI complete, we most certainly want to!
