Staff Testing and Counseling Testing and counseling services are provided to assist students in obtaining maximum results from educational opportunities. Professional counselors are available to discuss personal, social, educational, and career concerns with students. The Texas Education Code requires that all students who enter public institutions of higher education must be tested for reading, writing, and mathematics skills. Students wishing to enroll, but have not taken the TASP must take TSTC's placement test, which is administered several times a week by qualified college personnel.
Further information is available from the counseling office.
A student who initially fails one or more sections of the TASP Test, or an approved alternate test, must successfully complete the development program prescribed by the institution and must then retake the appropriate sections of the TASP Test. The Dental Laboratory Technology Test is administered by appointment for students enrolled in the Dental Laboratory Technology program. TASP includes a testing component designed to identify skill levels and to provide diagnostic information about reading, mathematics, and writing skills of each student.
