Non-passing Scores

There is no restriction on the number of times students may retake a TSI approved test in order to achieve passing scores. However, it is in students' best interest to complete the developmental education program for the sections of the test they have failed before they retake the test.

Students whose scores on their initial test fall below specified minimums listed below will be required to re-test in order to meet TSI standards.

Students who do not achieve passing scores on their first attempt complete TSI standards and may satisfy requirements for each skill area in reading, writing and mathematics with any of the following methods:

1. Complete the capstone developmental education course with a grade of C or better for a specific skill area. The capstone developmental education courses are:

• READ 0200, Reading Skills II

• WRIT 0200, Writing Skills II

• DMTH 0200, Intermediate Algebra

2. Re-test on an approved TSI test in a specific skill area and achieve a passing score. Contact the Testing Office (903) 923-3227.

3. Achieve a mastery level in PLATO for a specific skill area. Contact the Testing Office (903) 923-3227 for information on PLATO.
