The TSI program is designed to promote the success of students in college by assessing students’academic skills through a state-approved examination called the TSI Assessment.  \nThe entire TSI Assessment consists of a mandatory Pre-Assessment Activity and English (Reading and Writing with an Essay) and Math. A student’s scores on the initial questions determine if the student will be collegeready or receive further questions to determine areas of needed improvement.  \nWho must take the TSI?  \nAll students in Texas public colleges are required to take the TSI assessment, unless the student qualifies for a TSI exemption. Starting January 2021, the Reading and Writing sections will be combined into one English section with an Essay. College-ready scores are good for five years. Students who have demonstrated collegeready scores in both Reading and Writing prior to January 2021 can use those scores; however, students who have not passed both Reading and Writing will have to retake the new English test.  \n\n| Current College-Ready TSI Scores |  | Starting January 2021 College-Ready TSI Scores\u003Cbr>(Pending approval) |  | Students are EXEMPT from individual areas of TSI testing if any ONE of the following is met: |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| READING | a TSI score of at least 351 | ENGLISH | a TSI score of at least 945 with a 5 on the essay OR if below 945, a 5 on the essay\u003Cbr>AND a 5 on the Diagnostic | SAT: English Read/Write (EBRW) 480\u003Cbr>ACT: Composite 23 with English 19\u003Cbr>Grade of C or better in a college (dualenrolled) course requiring TSI Reading |\n| WRITING | a TSI score of 340 with a 4 on the essay OR if below 340, a 5 on the essay AND a 4 on the ABE |  |  | SAT: English Read/Write (EBRW) 480\u003Cbr>ACT: Composite 23 with English 19\u003Cbr>Grade of C or better in a college (dualenrolled) course requiring TSI Reading & Writing (or English) |\n| MATH | a TSI score of at least 350 | MATH | a TSI score of at least 950 OR if below 950, a 6 on the Diagnostic | SAT: Math 530\u003Cbr>ACT: Composite 23 with Math 19\u003Cbr>Grade of C or better in a college (dualenrolled) course requiring TSIMath |\n\nDual-credit students must be college-ready to register for college-level academic courses.  \nStudents entering college who do not meet the college-ready standards will be placed in appropriate developmental courses to be prepared for college-level courses.  \nHow can LCM students take the TSI?  \nLCM High School is a TSI testing site. Students are be able to take the test for a small fee.  \nStudents can also test at the Lamar State College-Orange Testing Center (make appointment by calling 409-882- 3330) . All colleges offer this test for their students – costs vary by college.  \nVisit the Testing Webpage on the LCMHS Counselors’Corner: [http://lcmhs.lcmcisd.org/194338_3](http://lcmhs.lcmcisd.org/194338_3)","cbCaioTxS50fZCIS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioTxS50fZCIS","pdf",150996,"English","# Who must take the TSI?\n## TSI exemption conditions\n## College-ready score timelines and retesting rules\n# TSI assessment structure\n## Pre-Assessment Activity and testing components\n# How LCM students can take the TSI\n## LCM High School testing site\n## Lamar State College-Orange Testing Center","[{\"question\":\"What is the Texas Success Initiative (TSI)?\",\"answer\":\"The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) is a state program that helps colleges assess students’ preparedness for college-level coursework in English and mathematics using a state-approved TSI Assessment.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens after students take the TSI assessment?\",\"answer\":\"Scores from initial questions determine whether students are college-ready or whether they receive additional questions to identify areas needing improvement.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is exempt from parts of the TSI testing?\",\"answer\":\"Students are exempt from individual TSI testing areas if any listed condition is met, such as meeting specific TSI score thresholds in reading, writing, or math (including associated essay or diagnostic requirements) or earning a qualifying C or better in a required dual-enrolled course.\"}]","Texas Success Initiative (TSI) - College-Ready Assessment Overview | PDF",1790481438]
