The results of the assessment, in conjunction with your academic background, goals, and interests, are used by academic advisers and counselors to place you in the appropriate course that matches your skill level. The goals are to help demonstrate your readiness and help you become ready for college-level coursework. NOTE: Any references in this brochure to developmental courses, interventions, and corequisite models are not applicable to high school students seeking to enroll in college-level coursework via dual credit.  \nTSI Assessment (TSIA)  \nOnce you complete the TSIA, you have immediate access to your individual score report, which gives you details on your test results. Use the score report to understand your academic strengths and areas for improvement. Your adviser, counselor, or faculty member will also use this score report to help make the best recommendations for the courses or interventions that meet your individual needs.  \nHOW IS MY TEST SCORED?  \nThe individual score report indicates your score in the mathematics, reading, and writing portions of the TSIA and the appropriate course in which you will be placed.  \nYour scores on the TSIA determine if you are ready to take college-level courses. If you are college ready, you may enroll in any related entry-level college course without having to take developmental courses or interventions. You are considered college ready (i.e.,“TSI met/complete”) ifat the very least you receive the following scores:  \nCOLLEGE READINESS BENCHMARKS  \nMathematics: a score in the range of 350–390 in the multiple-choice section.  \nReading: a score in the range of 351–390 in the multiplechoice section.  \nWriting: two ways—(1) a score of 340–390 in the multiplechoice section and a score of 4 on the essay, OR (2) a score  \nof 310–339 in the multiple-choice section, and a score of 4, 5, or 6 on the ABE Diagnostic section, and an essay score of 5 (you must meet all three) .  \nFor more information on assessment topics and scores, refer to:  \nPage 6 for Mathematics and Statistics Page 6 for Reading  \nPage 7 for Writing  \nWHAT IF I DON’T MEET THE COLLEGE READINESS CUT SCORE?  \nIf your TSIA mathematics, reading, or writing test score is lower than the college readiness cut score for that subject, you may be placed in either a developmental course or an intervention to improve your skills and prepare for success in college-level courses. In addition to other factors, your placement is determined through the results you get in the DE or ABE Diagnostic Tests, which measure how well you know the subjects. Your institution may use additional factors such as your high school grade point average/ class ranking, other test scores, and courses from your high school or college transcripts. The institution will also consider your selected major or program.  \nCAN I RETAKE THE TEST?  \nIf you are not satisfied with your score, you may retake the TSIA at any time. However, before you attempt to retest, it  \nis strongly recommended that you set aside time for additional study. It is very unlikely that your score will improve greatly without additional review and study. Check with the testing center at your college or university for information concerning retesting.  \nDiagnostic Test  \nIf your score in the TSIA is lower than the college readiness benchmark, you will be directed to take the DE or ABE Diagnostic Test, which determines your areas of strength and areas that need improvement in mathematics, reading, and/or writing. Many students who are not college ready may be provided the DE Diagnostic Test as described below, while others may be directed to a different version of a diagnostic test (the A","cbCaigHB5DhTmfIY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigHB5DhTmfIY","pdf",365432,"English","# How the Test Is Scored\n## College Readiness Benchmarks\n## If You Don’t Meet the Cut Score\n## Retaking the Test\n## Diagnostic Tests and Score Reports","[{\"question\":\"What does the TSI Assessment measure and how are results used?\",\"answer\":\"The TSIA measures strengths and weaknesses in mathematics and statistics, as well as reading and writing.
