We plan to resume testing after the Labor Day Weekend.

Do I need to complete any review before testing?

Yes. Students must be able to show they have completed the TSI Assessment modules in IXL in the section they want to test, or they must have attended 1 hour of tutoring with their Math or English teacher and show proof before they are placed on the list for a test date voucher. ECHSA students will complete reviews in AVID, English, and ACC periods.

What is the TSI? >

• The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) is a program designed to determine if a student is ready for college-level course work in the general areas of reading, writing and mathematics. This program will also help determine what type of course or intervention will best meet the student's needs and to assist in becoming better prepared for college-level course work. 

How can I study for the TSI? >

• All students must show proof of review prior to testing. The best study material can be found on the IXL page via the TSI lab's Blend Course, ACC's TSI prep page or on ACCUPLACER's student resources page. There is also a study app for you to use.
