The Quick THEA (QT) is administered at the Testing, Research-Support, and Evaluation Center (TREC) located in Commons Hall, first floor. QT testing at Texas State is open to all students. A photo ID is required at the time of registration and payment of fees. A nonrefundable Texas State University administration fee of $25 must be paid at the time of registration. The QT fee of $29 is paid on the morning of the test (see below).

Two separate fee payments are required as indicated below:

  • QT Fee: $29
  • Texas State University Administration Fee: $25

The QT fee payment may be made only by check, money order, VISA, or Mastercard (NO CASH). Personal checks and money orders for QT are made payable to NES.

The Texas State University administration fee payment may be made only by a separate check, money order, or exact change in cash (NO CREDIT or DEBIT CARDS). Checks and money orders are to be made payable to Texas State Univ. This fee is collected upon test registration.

Students with Disabilities: If you are a student with a disability and need either extended time and /or separate room testing for the QT, disability documentation must be provided to the Office of Disability Services a minimum of two weeks prior to the selected test date. Contact the Office of Disability Services at (512) 245-3451 (Voice/TTY).

Non-Texas State Univ students and students seeking special accommodations other than extended time or separate room testing should register for one of the NES administered THEA tests offered during the academic year.

ID requirements: All examinees must present photo identification (driver's license, military ID, passport or other government agency or employer issued ID) on the morning of the test. Theme park ID's, club membership ID's, social security cards, birth certificates, temporary driver's license without photo, credit cards with or without photo, and other "flea market" type ID's are not considered acceptable forms of identification.

Other acceptable forms of IDs are:

  • Personal recognition by a member of the faculty or permanent staff of Texas State University-San Marcos.
  • School year book photo with examinee's name captioned.
  • Name and brief description of the student written on school stationery that the student has signed in the presence of the school principal or a counselor, who must cosign.

Calculator Policy: Examinees may use a four-function, non-programmable calculator (with square root and percent keys). Examinees must bring their own calculators to the test administration. The following types of calculators are not permitted: (For illustration only, not an exclusive list)

Individually Administered Quick THEA Option

The QT is also available on an individually administered (by appointment only ) basis to all students. This option is available (schedule permitting) during normal business hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays. In addition to the QT fee of $29.00, a special Texas State Administration Fee of $70 will be charged to off-set the added cost of individualized testing. Appointments may be made in-person by stopping by the TREC or by calling (512) 245-2276.

All the above stated acceptable forms of payment and identification requirements apply to this option also. Payment of fees are made on the day of the test. Individuals who are more than 15 minutes late for their appointed test time must reschedule a new test date and time (NO EXCEPTIONS).

If you have previously taken the Quick THEA, be aware that the Quick THEA policies prohibit the retaking of the Quick THEA within 30 days of your last Quick THEA test date.
