The TSI Assessment (TSIA) is a way for Texas public institutions of higher education to find out if students are prepared for college-level coursework in English Language Arts Reading (ELAR) and mathematics. If you meet certain college readiness benchmarks on tests like the SAT, ACT, or STAAR English III or Algebra II EOCs, or complete the high school College Preparatory Course, you won't have to take this assessment.
