Read the first 7 Exemptions and Scoring flashcards as text

  1. A student scored 945 on TSIA2 ELA/Reading with a Diagnostic Level of 3 and an Essay score of 6. Are they college ready?

    Answer: Yes, because the ELA score is 945 or higher

    A TSIA2 ELA/Reading score of 945 or higher automatically qualifies a student as college ready regardless of diagnostic or essay scores.

  2. Under TSI legislation, which category of student is waived from TSIA2 testing requirements?

    Answer: Students who have earned a bachelor's degree or higher

    Students who have already earned a bachelor's degree or higher are exempt from TSIA2 requirements.

  3. The TSIA2 Essay is scored on a scale of:

    Answer: 1–8

    The TSIA2 Essay component is scored on a scale of 1 to 8 by trained raters.

  4. If a student achieves a TSIA2 Math scaled score of 909, what can be said about their college readiness?

    Answer: They are not college ready regardless of diagnostic score

    A Math scaled score below 910 means the student is not college ready, and the diagnostic condition only applies to scores in the 910–949 range.

  5. Which of the following correctly describes a dual-credit high school student's TSIA2 status?

    Answer: Dual-credit students may be exempt if they meet certain criteria including GPA and class rank

    High school students enrolling in dual-credit courses may be exempt from TSIA2 based on meeting specific eligibility criteria such as GPA, class rank, or STAAR performance.

  6. What happens if a student is college ready in Math but not in ELA/Reading based on TSIA2 results?

    Answer: They are required to complete developmental education only in ELA/Reading

    TSIA2 college readiness is determined section by section, so developmental requirements apply only to the area(s) where a student is not college ready.

  7. A Texas public high school student scored 85th percentile on their AP English Language exam and received a score of 3. Does this exempt them from TSIA2 ELA?

    Answer: No, AP scores are not listed as an official TSIA2 exemption criterion

    AP exam scores are not among the official TSIA2 exemption criteria; exemptions are based on SAT, ACT, STAAR, military service, prior college credit, and a few other specified criteria.
