DO I HAVE TO TAKE THE THEA TEST?
(Formerly TASP)

WHY?? Texas state law requires all students entering Texas public colleges or universities, unless they are exempt, to be assessed for college readiness in reading, writing, and mathematics.

WHEN?? Fall or spring of senior year.
A complete testing schedule with test site information can found in the THEA (formerly TASP) Registration Bulletin.

AM I EXEMPT?? Each university dictates its own exemption standard. Check with the university you plan to attend.

TEST STRUCTURE?? A total of 5 hours’ of testing time is provided. The individual test sections - Reading, Mathematics, and Writing - are not timed within the test session. You may spend as much time as needed on each section until the session ends. On the writing test you will be asked to write a multiple paragraph writing sample that contains 300-600 words.

TEST SCORING?? Score on each section is on a scale from 100-300. The minimum score needed to pass reading and math is 230. The minimum passing score for writing is 220.

Institutions make placement decisions based on your minimum scores. Minimum scores vary by schools. For more information visit the THEA (formerly TASP) web site www.thea.nesinc.com.
