    TSI and College Entrance Exams

    These exams help measure student readiness for college-level coursework or for their specific program. They also help determine if additional courses or interventions are needed to prepare students for success in their college career and field of study. You will not be denied admission to the Alamo Colleges (San Antonio College) based on your TSI Assessment scores. 

    TSIA 2.0

    The Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSIA) helps identify a student’s proficiency in reading, writing and mathematics to determine their level of readiness for college coursework. Following the TSIA, students may enroll in college-level classes or in courses or interventions to help them prepare for success in college-level coursework. No student will be denied admission to SAC or any Alamo College based on their TSIA or college placement scores.

    Only testers and San Antonio College personnel are allowed in the Testing Room.  Children, parents, spouses, and friends are not allowed in the testing room.

    See below for resources to help prepare for a successful TSIA exam. Parents, spouses, and friends are not allowed in the testing room.

    Incoming students who do not need to take the TSIA may enroll in college-level courses without testing. See a list of exemptions here or contact an advisor for more information.
