The Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSIA) measures strengths and weaknesses in multiple academic subjects. Many colleges will use TSI scores instead of ACT or SAT scores for entrance.

SAT vs. TSIA for College & Career Readiness 2023-2024 (PDF)

The tests in TSIA2 either certify you as “college ready” (or TSI-met/complete) in a subject area or it will provide a diagnostic profile regarding your academic strengths and weaknesses so that targeted instruction may be provided to help you succeed in college-level courses. TSIA2 contains multiple-choice questions aligned to Texas College and Career Readiness Standards, Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, Adult Education and Literacy Content Standards 2.0, and National Reporting System Educational Functioning Levels. The ELAR Test also contains an essay component you must complete to be considered college ready in ELAR. Here are more details about TSIA2:

• Multiple-choice tests in TSIA2 are computer adaptive, which means that questions increase or decrease in difficulty depending on how you respond.
• The assessments are untimed, which means there’s no time limit on how long you can take to complete testing. Remember to allow yourself enough time to consider your answer to each question—your test results will be used by advisers in determining the course or courses in which you can enroll.
• In most cases, TSIA2 provides results upon completion. When you complete the assessment, you immediately receive a score report.
