WHAT IS THE TSIA2 TEST?
The Texas Success Initiative Assessment, better know as the TSIA2 test, is a program which determines the appropriate level of college course work for an incoming student. The TSIA test consists of two separate exams: Mathematics and Reading/Writing. The TSIA is a PLACEMENT test, NOT an entrance exam!
