Texas Success Initiative Assessment in College, Career, and Military Readiness in 2022 and Beyond
Beginning with 2022 accountability ratings, the newly designed Texas Success Initiative assessment (TSIA2) will be considered for College,
Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) credit for 2020–21 graduates and non-graduating 12
th
graders in addition to prior TSIA1 records. The
chart below details how a student can meet Texas Success Initiative (TSI) criteria for CCMR via the TSIA1 and/or TSIA2.
To meet TSI criteria for accountability purposes, a student must meet the minimum scores in both English language arts/reading (ELAR) and
mathematics via the SAT, ACT, TSIA or by earning credit for a college prep course. The student does not necessarily need to meet criteria for
both subjects on the same assessment. For example, a student may meet the ELAR TSI criteria on the TSIA and complete and earn credit for a
college prep course in mathematics.

ELAR Example Scenarios
• A student earned a 351 on the Reading portion and a 4 on the Essay portion of the TSIA1. This student will be considered college ready
because the TSIA1 Writing portion was not previously in CCMR.
• A student earned a 940 on the ELAR CRC, a 4 on the diagnostic, and a 6 on the Essay portion of the TSIA2. This student will NOT be
considered college ready. The student must score at least 5 on the diagnostic.
• A student earned a 950 on the ELAR CRC portion of the TSIA2 and a 5 on the Essay portion of the TSIA1/TSIA2. This student will be
considered college ready.
• A student earned a 930 on the ELAR CRC portion of the TSIA2, a 6 on the diagnostic portion of the TSIA2, and a 6 on the TSIA1 Essay
