The Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSI)

The TSI at Elkhart High School will be administered in the computer lab.  If you are needing to take all or any part of the TSI please email kthomas@elkhartisd.org or call 903-764-8518.  
 
The TSI Assessments measure college readiness in reading, writing, and math. The scores
are used for college placement purposes. IF a student plans to take dual credit courses
during high school they will need to take and pass the TSI. Passing scores are as follows:
 
ELAR 945 or a diagnostic score of 5 or 6
Essay 5
Math 950 or a diagnostic score of 6
 
With the new scoring, a student has 2 chances to pass.  

TSI EXAM
Testing dates are below.  This is the college entrance exam that has replaced the THEA, and any student considering dual credit MUST pass this test before signing up for those courses.  The exam is given by TVCC and EHS on various days.  If a student is taking the TSI at TVCC, the absence will be excused if test scores are turned in to Mrs. Chaffin (the score report will have the date and time listed and students will only be excused for that portion of the day).
