Texas College Bridge is a free online program that has both ELAR and Math college prep courses that allow you to earn a TSI exemption at participating schools.  Students may have already demonstrated readiness in one or both areas through TSI scores, ACT scores , or  SAT scores.  If not, this is a great free opportunity to demonstrate college readiness.  

Students may need to complete ELAR, Math or both subjects of the Texas College Bridge to demonstrate college readiness.  

The ELAR consists of 2 Stages and and an Essay.  Students begin by taking a diagnostic test in Stage 1 to determine pre-existing knowledge.   Students then work through at their own pace until they have reached a 90% mastery level in Stage 1.  Stage 2 will open up at that time.  Students will once again take a diagnostic and then work through stage 2 until they have reached 90% mastery.  Students are also required to complete and submit an essay for their teacher to grade based on this year's provided topic.  Once a student has completed stage 1 and stage 2 with a 90% mastery score for both stages and have passed the essay, they will be  ELAR complete and may obtain their certificate.  

The Math consists of 2 Stages.  Students begin by taking a diagnostic test in Stage 1 to determine pre-existing knowledge.   Students then work through at their own pace until they have reached a 90% mastery level in Stage 1.  Stage 2 will open up at that time.  Students will once again take a diagnostic and then work through stage 2 until they have reached 90% mastery.  

Once you have completed Math or ELAR you will need to click on your achievements and set up your greenlight locker.  This will allow you to keep a copy of your certificate and share it with colleges and universities that accept the College Bridge.
