COLLEGE-READINESS SCORES (TSI)

Scores on the TSI Assessment determine if a student is ready to take college-level courses. If college ready, a student may enroll in any related entry-level college course without having to take developmental courses or interventions.

Dual-enroll students may demonstrate that they are “college-ready” through TSI or may be exempt from needing to provide TSI scores if their scores on their SAT or ACT tests are high enough. 

LCM offers the TSI test to students in the spring. Students who have requested to take a dual-enroll course or its equivalent high school course will have an opportunity to take the TSI at either LCM or the LSCO Testing Center. LCM charges $5 for the math test and $10 for the English test. Ms. Brown in the Counselors Office coordinates the TSI Testing for the high school.

Students who want to test at the LSCO Testing Center will need to call and make an appointment and pay $10 for the math test and $15 for the English test prior to testing.
