  1. A continuing student who previously tested as college ready in math now wants to enroll in an English Composition course. Which statement is correct?

    Answer: The student must still show college readiness in English unless an exemption applies

    TSIA2 college readiness is subject-specific; a student must meet the standard in each area (math and English) independently.

  2. Which of the following ACT scores would qualify a student for a TSIA2 exemption in mathematics?

    Answer: ACT Math score of 23 or higher

    A score of 23 or higher on the ACT Math section exempts a student from the TSIA2 Mathematics assessment.

  3. How long are TSIA2 scores valid for placement purposes at Texas public institutions?

    Answer: Scores do not expire and remain valid indefinitely

    THECB policy does not set an expiration date on TSIA2 scores, so they remain valid for placement throughout a student's enrollment.

  4. What does it mean if a student receives a 'Diagnostic' result rather than a college-ready score on the TSIA2?

    Answer: The student did not demonstrate college readiness and will be placed based on diagnostic sub-scores

    A diagnostic result indicates the student is not yet college ready; institutions use the detailed sub-scores to guide appropriate placement or intervention.

  5. Under TSIA2 guidelines, which of the following is a valid reason for a student to be exempt from the assessment?

    Answer: The student has earned an associate degree or higher from an accredited U.S. institution

    Students who already hold an associate degree or higher from a regionally accredited U.S. institution are exempt from TSIA2 testing.

  6. Which entity developed and administers the TSIA2 assessment?

    Answer: Educational Testing Service (ETS)

    ETS developed the TSIA2 under contract with THECB and manages test delivery across Texas.

  7. A student fails to complete the Pre-Assessment Activity before sitting for the TSIA2. What happens?

    Answer: The student cannot test until the PAA is completed

    Completion of the PAA is a mandatory prerequisite; testing centers are required to verify PAA completion before allowing a student to take the TSIA2.
