TSI ELAR Overview
The TSI reading and TSI English sections were combined into the TSI ELAR section when the exam was updated to its new format (TSIA2).
Instead of having to take 2 separate sections, you will now save some time by only having to take 1 section (ELAR). The categories you will be tested on include:
- Reading-Focused: Ability to to comprehend and analyze texts and passages.
- Writing-Focused: Ability to revise and edit sentences, paragraphs, and essays.
The essay will also appear on this ELAR section. You can practice for the essay by visiting our TSI essay page.
There is a College Readiness Classification (CRC) Test and a Diagnostic Test:
College Readiness Classification (CRC) ELAR Test:
- Questions: 30
- Time Limit: Untimed
ELAR Diagnostic Test:
- Questions: 48
- Time Limit: Untimed
You will take the CRC test first. If you do not score 945+ and an essay score of 5+, you will need to take the ELAR diagnostic test.
