Pre-Assessment Activity
Pre-Assessment Activity
The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) is a state-required assessment test to determine college-readiness in reading, writing, and math. All entering students must take the TSI test before enrolling in classes unless you are exempt or complete.
What is the PAA (Pre-Assessment Activity)?
The PAA will help you understand the following:
- Why you are being tested.
- How the TSI works, including calculator and highlighter tutorials, plus practice test questions.
- How test results impact your college options.
- The resources available to you.
You only have to take the PAA once, even if you take the TSI multiple times.
