The testing component uses a proctored, on-campus, untimed computer-based format covering math, reading, and writing through multiple-choice questions and possibly an essay. Results are used to place students in developmental or college-level coursework. The activity also lists possible exemptions and details what each math, reading, and writing section assesses, plus key testing constraints like no outside calculators.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/","Exam",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/cisco-college-tsi-test-pre-assessment-activity/398047/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/cisco-college-tsi-test-pre-assessment-activity/398047.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Jake","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-01","2026-09-27",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",7,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What is the TSI Assessment and what are its two parts?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"The TSI Assessment is a two-part program of testing and advisement.

 \n• The TSI Assessment is a two-part program of testing and advisement  \n• The testing section 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 section 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  \n• 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, or STAARS  \n– Military Service  \n– Previous college coursework  \n– Enrolling in a Level I certificate  \n• See the admissions office 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 expressionsand 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 functions 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: measur","cbCaio5w3rtCJnHB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaio5w3rtCJnHB","pdf",747811,25,"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 and what are its two parts?\",\"answer\":\"The TSI Assessment is a two-part program of testing and advisement.
