Math Placement and TSI Testing

TREC currently offers three tests to meet both math placement needs and the Texas Success Initiative (TSI): Accuplacer, Compass, and QuickTHEA.

The Accuplacer and Compass are computer-administered tests.  The fee to take either of these is $30, and will produce immediate scores (although in very rare instances, an immediate score will not be available for the essay).

The QuickTHEA is a paper-and-pencil test.  There are two payments needed to take the QuickTHEA: $30 paid to Texas State University; and then $29 paid to Evaluation Systems by check, money order, MasterCard, or Visa.  Scores for the QuickTHEA will usually be received within 7-10 business days.
