Pre assessment activity (paa)

The PAA is a mandatory activity that all first-time students who do not have TSIA2 exemptions must complete before they can test. You will receive a certificate upon completing the PAA. Save the certificate in your Google Drive so that you can easily access it every time you register to take the TSIA2.

Laredo College’s PAA can be found by clicking on the Laredo College icon on the left.
