See notes

Writing SubScore
ACT 19 23
Composite
SAT I

We will need PROOF of your scores either from the HS on your transcript OR from the testing source!
I know you just recently took your TAKS test, so you have a choice you can wait for those scores or you can provide us with ACT/SAT. We should have your TAKS scores before Fall registration.
PSAT does not count.
If you want to take Math at Collin-everyone has to Math assess if they have not taken a college level math course yet.

21. TSI What will I need to do?
Get a testing referral from Admissions.
Pay at the cashier; cost is $29.
Make an appointment at the Testing Center at any of the three main campuses.
Testing Referrals will be given during the admissions process or if you apply online you can come pick on up.
You need to be testing at college level in reading and writing to take ANY courses for dual credit.
If you have the exemption scores you do not need to test-unless you are taking Math.
You may retest-you have to pay each time.

22. What if my TSI scores are low?
The purpose of this assessment is to find out what level you should start your coursework.
If you do not place at “college level”, that means you need to focus on your high school work at this time.
- This is NOT uncommon.
If you place in to a developmental course at Collin as a dual credit student you are unable to take that course with us until you graduate from HS. The state of Texas considers that “double dipping” They fund the HS’s for this!
Home school same thing…they feel you should be covering the developmental topics in your home school curriculum.
You can take other things! You can always retest!
