No. The TSI test is usually only given to students who do not appear to be ready for college-level work. Factors such as your SAT score, your ACT exam score, your STAAR score, and your EOC score influence whether or not you need to take the TSI test. In order to avoid taking the TSI Mathematics and Statistics test, you will need to score at least a 530 on the SAT, and for the ACT you will need to score at least a 19. For those taking the STAAR exam, you will need to score 2000 points on the writing and reading sections, and 4000 points on the mathematics section.
