TSIA 2.0

What is TSIA 2.0?

The Texas Success Initiative Assessment 2.0 (TSIA2) is a series of placement tests for students enrolling in public colleges and universities in Texas. The tests help Texas schools determine whether you’re ready for college-level courses in the areas of reading, writing, and math.If you’re not ready for college-level courses, the tests help determine what types of courses or interventions will best prepare you for college-level work. You take TSIA2 tests on a computer, and, depending on school policy, you may receive your results immediately after completing the test.Not all Texas college students have to take TSIA2. If you’ve met college readiness standards on a standardized test like the SAT or successfully completed a high school college preparatory course, you may be exempt. Contact the college you’ll be attending to see if you need to take TSIA2.Before you take TSIA2, you’ll need to complete a pre-assessment activity. The institution or school district where you test will provide the activity and document your participation.
