The TSI Assessment (TSIA2) is the state-mandated placement test that Texas public institutions must use to determine a student’s readiness for college-level courses. The results of this important placement test will assist Temple College advisors in scheduling you in the courses where you will be most successful. Before taking the test for the first time, you are required to complete a pre-assessment activity. | TSI Assessment Fees$15 - one section |
TSIA2 Pre-Assessment
The TSIA2 Pre-Assessment will discuss the content and importance of the test, provide information on developmental education options if you don’t meet the minimum passing standard, and provide sample questions and feedback. Temple College is required to document your participation, so students must complete the pre-assessment activity before taking the test. When complete, please forward the certificate of completion to testingcenter@templejc.edu.
If you’d like more TSI preparation resources, see the TSIA2 Test Preparation Resource List.
