The TSIA2 is designed to evaluate students' preparedness for college-level coursework, focusing on essential academic skills in English Language Arts and Math.
The TSIA2 assesses key academic areas required for success in college, specifically mathematics and English Language Arts, which include reading and writing.
The TSIA2 is required for students entering Texas colleges unless they qualify for an exemption based on standardized test scores, prior coursework, or other criteria.
Colleges use TSIA2 scores to place students in appropriate coursework, including developmental courses if they are not yet ready for college-level classes.
A strong performance on the TSIA2 can demonstrate college readiness, allowing students to skip developmental (remedial) courses and begin credit-earning classes immediately.
