Reminder about TSI Assessment Benchmarks
THECB recently approved an amendment to TSI rules to remove all language related to
"phase-in" scores of the TSI Assessment (TSIA) college readiness benchmarks.
Instead, we are awaiting the results of the TSIA validation study to help determine
whether the college readiness benchmarks will change. Once recommendations are made, there
will be a 30-day public comment period with the board making its final consideration for
approval at its summer meeting.
Meanwhile, please note that the benchmarks in place on the date a student tests are the
ones that should be used to determine that student's college readiness. For example,
if a student tests today on the TSIA-math portion and scores a 350, that student is
considered college ready in math. Students should not be directed to retest if they have
met the current college readiness benchmarks since TSIA results are valid five (5) years
from date of testing. Please ensure all TSI testing personnel, counselors, advisors, and
other applicable support staff are immediately informed of this policy.
