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.
- You can also visit the IXL Learning page or meet with the TSI proctors when you arrive at Akins ECHS.
