Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSIA2)
What is the TSIA2?
The Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSIA2) helps institutions determine if you're ready for college-level reading, writing, and math. Colleges and technical schools can use your scores to identify your academic trajectory. The assessment is administered via the College Board's digital ACCUPLACER® platform. Most students are required to take it unless exempt by qualifying SAT or ACT score. For more information, peruse the Student Informational Brochure.
Why does it matter?
-
TSIA2 scores determine your placement in college-level or developmental courses after high school.
-
Dual Credit students must meet TSIA2 requirements—they cannot enroll in developmental courses.
-
Passing all parts of the TSIA will help make you eligible for CCMR Release.
When do I take it?
Students take the TSIA2 on their home campus during the BISD testing windows approved by the Board of Trustees. Dates can be found on the Planning, Assessment & Accountability site. There is no fee for students testing on a BISD campus.
