The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) is an assessment test that measures college readiness in reading, writing, and mathematics for students in Texas. The TSI test is administered by Texas public colleges and universities to ensure that incoming students are prepared for college-level coursework. The TSI helps colleges and universities ensure that their students have the necessary skills to succeed in college-level coursework.
The TSIA2 exam covers two multiple-choice sections: Mathematics and English Language Arts and Reading (ELAR) and the essay.
From the beginning to the end of the exam, the multiple-choice questions on the test automatically adjust to build or decrease in complexity based on your previous responses. If you don’t show academic readiness in the first part of the exam in either section, you will be presented with a diagnostic subject-specific test. This gives you another chance to perform at a higher level.
This computer-based exam provides an initial testing period without a time limit, and the test will have an option for you to save your work to finish at a later time. From that point, you have 14 days remaining to complete the TSIA2. The essay part of the exam is the exception to this option. Once you begin the essay, you must finish in that session. Let’s look at each of the main content areas of the exam in more detail.
