- For TSI Assessment, v2 (TSIA2), administered AFTER 1/11/21: The minimum passing standards for the TSIA2 are as follows:
- Mathematics: a College Readiness Classification (CRC) score of at least 950; or a CRC score below 950 and a Diagnostic level of 6.
- English Language Arts Reading (ELAR): a College Readiness Classification (CRC) score of at least 945 and an essay score of at least 5; or a CRC score below 945 and a Diagnostic level of 5 or 6 and an essay score of at least 5.
Scores may not be more than 5 years old at the time of exemption.
- For TSI Assessment (TSIA) administered BEFORE 1/11/21: The minimum passing score for
each TSI Assessment section are as follows:
- Mathematics: a score ranging from 350 to 390.
- Reading: a score ranging from 351 to 390;
- Writing: a placement score of at least 340, and an essay score of at least a 4; or a placement score of less than 340, and an ABE Diagnostic level of at least 4, and an essay score of at least 5.
Scores may not be more than 5 years old at the time of exemption.
- Note: You may mix passing scores from the old TSIA and TSIA2. For example, if you passed Reading and Writing on the TSIA, and are incomplete in math only, you may take only the math portion of the TSIA2. However, Reading and Writing are combined into one assessment in the TSIA2, so if you passed only Reading or only Writing previously, you must take the entire ELAR TSIA2 assessment.
