College Planning
• If you are planning on
continuing your education,
there are tests that most
secondary institutions require:
• ACT/ SAT- for a 4-year college
• TSI - The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) is a program designed to
determine if a student is ready for college-level course work in the general areas of
reading, writing and mathematics. This program will also help determine what type
of course or intervention will best meet the student's needs and to assist in
becoming better prepared for college-level course work.
