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 goal is to help you become ready for college-level course work.  \nTSI Assessment  \nOnce you complete the TSI Assessment, you have immediate access to your individual score report, which give you details on your test results. Use the score report to understand your academic strengths and areas for improvement. Your advisor, 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 TSI Assessment and the appropriate course level in which you will be placed.  \nYour scores on the TSI Assessment 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 if at the very least you receive the following scores:  \nCollege-Readiness Cut-Scores  \nMathematics: a score ranging from 350 to 390 in the multiple-choice section.  \nReading: a score ranging from 351 to 390 in the multiple-choice section.  \nWriting: a score of 5 in the essay section. You can also place in a college course if you receive a 4 on the essay and a score ranging from  \n363 to 390 on the multiple-choice section.  \nFor more information on assessment topics and scores refer to:  \nPage 5 for Mathematics and Statistics Page 4 for Reading  \nPage 6 for Writing  \nWhat if I Don’t Meet the  \nCollege-Readiness Cut-Score?  \nIf your TSI mathematics, reading or writing test score is lower than the college-readiness cutscore 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 Diagnostic Test, which measures 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.  \nCan I Retake the Test?  \nIf you are not satisfied with your score, you may retake the TSI Assessment at any time. However, before you attempt to retest, it is 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.  \nDE Diagnostic Test  \nIf your score in the TSI Assessment is lower than the college-readiness cut-score, you will be asked to take the DE Diagnostic Test, which determines your areas of strengths 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 given a different version of a diagnostic test to ensure accurate information related to their skill set. The results in the diagnostic test help the adviser place you in the appropriate level of a developmental course.  \nDE Diagnostic Score Report  \nOnce you complete the DE Diagnostic Test, you will receive a diagnostic score report. This report outlines the topics on which you were tested, along with the score and the criteria used to determine that score.  \n\n| ","cbCaipPVljhOyJEm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipPVljhOyJEm","pdf",7599287,11,"English","# How Is My Test Scored?\n# College-Readiness Cut-Scores\n# What if I Don’t Meet the College-Readiness Cut-Score?\n# Can I Retake the Test?\n# DE Diagnostic Test\n## DE Diagnostic Score Report","[{\"question\":\"How does the TSI Assessment score determine course placement?\",\"answer\":\"The individual score report shows results for mathematics, reading, and writing and indicates the course level for which you will be placed.
