All the best!
What can I do to prepare for the TSIA2?
To prepare for the TSIA2, please plan to dedicate several hours over a couple of weeks to refresh the math, reading, and writing skills that will be covered on the TSI assessment. Since many of the tested topics are taught as early as middle school, it has probably been several years since you worked on questions like these. Setting aside time to refresh your skills and knowledge may help you get a higher score and ensure you are ready to begin college-level coursework. Here are the TSI Assessment preparation resources available to help you prepare:
- Accuplacer Student Portal: The student portal allows access to practice resources, your Accuplacer (TSI) Score Report, test center locator, and test-taking tutorials.
- TSIA2 Resource Library: Browse by subject area, level, and type of resource. On the right side of the page, there is a Welcome box. For students taking the assessment for the first time, please click the “Enter Student Site” blue button. Students who are retaking the assessment, please enter your Learning Locator Code (found on the diagnostic score report that you received upon completion of your test) for targeted resources based on your test performance.
- UH LAUNCH: contact for TSI-specific peer tutoring and review workshops.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR STUDENTS ATTENDING ORIENTATION: Although we strongly recommend you take the TSI assessment well before orientation so your scores can be received in time and your enrollment will not be delayed, the good news is that you do not need to wait until you have taken this test to participate in New Student Orientation . See the Remediation Advising section below for how to discuss your TSI assessment status with your advisor.
