The TSIA2 Placement and Diagnostic tests are computer-adaptive assessments, and the specific questions that appear on any given test administration vary based on each individual student’s performance on each item. Questions increase or decrease in difficulty level depending on how a student responds. The TSIA2 measures college readiness in reading, writing, and math, and scores are used for college placement purposes.

The TSIA2 ELAR section must be taken as a whole if a student has never tested on it or has not met the required scores for a retest option. You can find additional information on Standalone Retest Options for ELAR on our website at https://www.utrgv.edu/p16/_files/documents/retake-test-scenarios-for-elar.pdf.
