State TSI Exemptions

Exemptions qualify the student from taking the TSIA in either English Language Arts/Reading and/or Math. Exemptions must be sent to the intended post-secondary institution officially in order to qualify. (Example: SAT scores need to be sent via Collegeboard, ACT scores via ACT.org) The Higher Education Institution will then advise the student on college course placement.

ACT score (on or after February 15, 2023) combined English and Reading of 40 or higher,  math a 22 or higher.
