Humble ISD will be hosting opportunities to take the Texas Success Initiative Assessment 2.0 (TSIA2) every month at different campuses across the district at no charge. These opportunities are being offered as a convenience to families of students who will be taking college-level classes now or in the future.
Under state requirements, anyone enrolling in a college-level English or Math class at a Texas public university or community college must pass the TSIA2, or receive a qualifying score on a test such as the ACT, SAT, PSAT or STAAR, in order to enroll in the college-level class. This statewide requirement applies to students enrolled in dual credit classes while in high school, as well as to students enrolling in the future in a college-level class.
A student shall be exempt from taking the TSIA2 if the student has:
Assessment | Math | Reading & Writing |
ACT | 23 Composite with minimum of 19 in Math | 23 Composite with minimum of 19 in English |
PSAT/NMSQT | 510 in Math | 460 on Evidence-based Reading & Writing |
SAT | 530 in Math | 480 on Evidence-based Reading & Writing |
STAAR | 4000 on Algebra II EOC | 4000 on English III EOC |
TSIA2 | At least 950 OR less than 950 with diagnostic level of 6 | At least 945 and essay score of 5 OR less than 945 with diagnostic level of 5 with essay of 5 |
Each testing site is limited to 50 spots. The first assessment will take place November 13, 2021, at Kingwood Park High School. Visit the College Readiness Assessments page for more information.
Students take TSIA2 tests on a computer and results are provided immediately upon completion of the exam. For more information, you can visit the College Board website.
