What is the TSI?

• The TSI is a test that colleges and universities in Texas require before students enroll into classes.
• There are three tests to pass:  Reading, Writing, & Math.
• If you do not pass all three portions of the TSI, you may not be able to enroll in dual credit courses.  You may also be required to take remedial courses before your school allows you to enroll in college-level courses.  In most cases, you pay for the remedial courses but do not earn college credit.

I'm ready to take the TSI.  Now what?

• Before taking the TSI, you must complete a Pre-Assessment Activity (PAA).  Click HERE to complete the PAA for O'Donnell High School.  The results will be sent directly to Mrs. White.
• The TSI is offered on our campus.  See Mrs. White for scheduled test dates.
• Each test costs $8 if you test on our campus.

Help!  I'm worried I won't be able to pass.
