Q. What is the TSI test? My son is graduating from San Marcos High this year and wonders if he will need to take it. Do all college-bound students have to take the TSI?
A. TSI refers to the Texas Success Initiative Program which is a state-legislated effort to improve student success in college. Many, but not all, students have to take the TSI exam.
This student wants to go to Texas State University, so we started with TSI information on the university’s website. The main component of the Texas Success Initiative Program (TSIP) is an initial assessment that measures skills in mathematics, reading and writing. All students, except those who are TSI-Exempt, should take this test before their first semester at Texas State University.
