The TSIA is a computer-adaptive test that adjusts questions based on how you are doing throughout the test.
The computer will determine your college readiness score.
Some essays may be hand-scored if the program requests for it.

The test proctor will seat you at an open computer station.
Turn off your cell phone and any other nonmedical electronic devices.
Place your personal belongings & devices on the table under the projector so the proctor can make certain you cannot cheat.

After the Test
Your scores will appear immediately on screen at the end of your test.
Your score report may be sent to you if you reach out to the TSI teacher.
If you do not achieve college readiness, the score report will indicate what sections of the test require more study and suggest resources for you.
If you would like support to achieve college readiness, reach out to the TSI teacher so you can formulate a study plan together.
Remember that standardized tests do not measure intelligence or a student's worth.
However, college entrance exams currently remain an important step in accessing higher education.
