The assessment is a two-part program combining proctored, untimed computer testing with advisement based on scores. It describes exemptions, test structure, question counts, and required skills across math, reading, and writing, including placement and diagnostic components.

 \n• The TSI Assessment is a two part program of testing and advisement  \n• The testing part is designed to help Cisco College determine ifa student is ready for college-level coursework in the areas of math, reading, and writing  \n• The advisement part involves using the TSI Assessment scores in advising a student as to what courses they are prepared for  \n• Students that are not college ready in any or all three areas will be advised into developmental courses designed to prepare the student for college-level coursework  \n• Students who are not college ready in all three areas will also be advised as to what college-level courses they can or cannot take until they are college-ready in all three areas  \nHow does the TSI Assessment work?  \n• The TSI Assessment is a proctored test taken on a computer on campus and is an untimed test  \n• It consists of multiple choice questions in math, reading, and writing, and it is also likely that the student will be asked to type an essay  \n• Each section consists of a placement test and, if necessary, a student will also take a diagnostic test in one or more sections  \n• When a student completes the test they will receive their scores and should visit with a counselor or advisor for an explanation of their scores   \nExemptions from TSI Test • Students may be exempt from one, two, or three sections of the TSI Assessment  \n• Exemptions can be:  \n– Qualifying test scores on the ACT, SAT, TAKS,  \nor STAARS  \n– Military Service  \n– Previous college coursework  \n– Enrolling in a Level I certificate  \n• See a counselor if you think you are exempt from the TSI Assessment  \nThe TSI Mathematics Section  \n• The TSI Mathematics section consists of 20-25 multiple choice questions on the placement test and about 40 additional questions if a student needs to take the diagnostic section  \n• The test covers four broad areas:  \n– Elementary Algebra and Functions  \n– Intermediate Algebra and Functions  \n– Geometry and Measurement  \n– Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability  \n• Additional information on these areas is available in the links to study materials located at the end of this slide show  \n• You will not be allowed to use outside calculators on the test  \nWhat does each Math area cover?  \n•  Elementary Algebra and Functions: measures your knowledge of linear equations, inequalities, and systems; algebraic expressions and equations; and words problems and applications  \n•  Intermediate Algebra and Functions: measures your knowledge of quadratic and other polynomial expressions, equations, and functions; expressions, equations, and function involving powers, roots, and radicals; and rational and exponential expressions, equations and functions  \n•  Geometry and Measurement: measures your knowledge of plane geometry; transformations and symmetry; and linear, area, and three-dimensional measurements  \n•  Data analysis, statistics, and probability: measures your knowledge of interpreting categorical and quantitative data, statistical measures and probabilistic reasoning  \nThe TSI Reading Section  \n• The TSI Reading Section consists of 20-25 multiple choice questions on the placement test and about 40-48 additional questions if a student needs to take the diagnostic section  \n• The Reading Section covers four broad areas:  \n– Literary Analysis  \n– Main Idea and Supporting Details  \n– Inferences in a Text or Texts  \n– Author’s Use of Language  \n• Additional information on these areas is available in the links to study materials located at the end of this slide show  \nWhat does each Reading area cover?  \n•  Literary Analysis: measures your skill in identifying and analyzing ideas in and elements of literary texts  \n•  Main Idea and Supporting Details: measures your skill in identifying the main idea of a passage and in comprehending explicit textual information in a passage  \n•  Inferences in a Text or Texts: measures your skill","cbCaidm4b8pKspmJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidm4b8pKspmJ","pdf",2772688,24,"English","# What is the TSI Assessment?\n## How does the TSI Assessment work?\n# Exemptions from TSI Test\n# The TSI Mathematics Section\n## What does each Math area cover?\n# The TSI Reading Section\n## What does each Reading area cover?\n# The TSI Writing Section\n## What does each Writing area cover?","[{\"question\":\"What is the TSI Assessment at Cisco College?\",\"answer\":\"It is a two-part program of testing and advisement designed to determine readiness for college-level coursework in math, reading, and writing.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the TSI Assessment work for students?\",\"answer\":\"It is a proctored, untimed computer test with multiple-choice questions, and it may include typing an essay.
