TSIA/TSIA2 Update
An updated TSIA exam will launch on January 11, 2021. The TSIA2 will take the place of the current TSIA exam. If you meet the college readiness benchmarks with the current TSIA exam, the scores will be valid for five years from the date that you took the exam. The same will apply to the new TSIA2 exam. The TSIA2 will differ from the TSIA by having reading and writing combined into one section which will be called the English Language Arts and Reading (ELAR) section. The TSIA2 will still have an essay portion and the mathematics section.
The Pre-Assessment (PAA) will still be required before taking the TSIA2. On January 11, the new Pre-Assessment Activity (PAA) will be updated for the new exam.
College-Level Classes Taken Without Testing
If you were placed into college-level classes only without taking the TSIA due to COVID restrictions, you may be required to take the TSIA/TSIA2 before the start of the spring semester.
- Students who passed the college-level classes do not have to take the TSIA.
- Students who did not take a corequisite class and did not pass the college-level class will need to take the TSIA or TSIA2 before the start of the spring semester..
Please check with an advisor if you have questions.
