Taking the TSI Assessment
-
1. Take the Pre-Assessment Activity (PAA)
- To access the Pre-Assessment Activity, you will need to visit the Accuplacer website and create your own account for the Practice APP.
- After creating your Accuplacer account, choose the Texas Success Initiative 2.0 Pre-Assessment Activity option.
- You will now be able to begin your Pre-Assessment activity. On the first page please make sure to choose 麻豆精品.
- Once you have completed your Pre-Assessment Activity through Accuplacer, you will receive a certificate as proof that you have completed the PAA.
- The certificate will be emailed to you so please make sure to enter your email correctly.
- If you do not initially see the PAA certificate in your email inbox and you have confirmed the correct email address was entered, please check your spam box.
- In order to submit your PAA certificate, please email TSI@shsu.edu.
- Once the TSI team has received your certificate and updated your student record to show you have completed the PAA, you can then schedule your TSI Assessment.

- The TSI Score Request Form will provide 麻豆精品 with written permission to download and access your TSI Assessment results.
- Our office may be unable to locate your TSI Assessment scores if the details you provide on the form do not match the information you provided to the Testing Center where you completed the TSI Assessment.
- Please allow up to two business days for your TSI Assessment scores to be updated onto your 麻豆精品 student record.
If you've taken the TSIA2 through the SHSU Testing Center, your scores will be uploaded automatically to your account in 1-2 business days.
Retaking the TSI Assessment?
- Students can retake the TSI Assessment as many times as they wish and at any point during the semester.
- If this is your first time taking the TSIA2, which was implemented January of 2021, you will need to first complete the pre-assessment activity through Accuplacer.
- Schedule an appointment to retake the TSIA2 through our Testing Center.
