**Please remember that there is an additional charge if you test anywhere other than a TVCC campus.
**If you chose to test remotely with Examity, you will receive a voucher in a separate email from ACCUPLACER with instructions to schedule your exam.
**If you allow your testing voucher to expire, you will need to purchase a new one to test.
**The TSI is untimed, but takes approximately 3-5 hours, please plan accordingly.
 
OPTION 1 — Face-to-Face on campus by appointment only. We currently have spaces for students who need to test on one of the TVCC campuses in Athens, Palestine, or Terrell HSC. 
OPTION 2 — EXAMITY, the proctoring company used by ACCUPLACER is available to test from the comfort of your own home and they offer appointments 7 days a week, 24 hours a day at your convenience. This may be a quicker option, if you are looking to test ASAP.
Chromebooks, Mac books, and cell phones cannot be used for this type of testing, so please plan to use a PC with Windows OS.
There is a small fee to use this service, but EXAMITY appointments are available 24/7. 

Effective July 1, 2024

EXAMITY is a third-party proctoring service that allows individuals to test at an alternate location rather than utilizing a testing center. This service is provided for an additional fee to testers to be assessed each time a student takes or retakes the exam. Individuals opting to take the TSIA2 test with EXAMITY are subject to the rules and guidelines established by ACCUPLACER and EXAMITY and will also adhere to TVCC’s student code of conduct which details academic dishonesty, deception, and false representation.

 **Testing sessions receiving a “red flag notification” from EXAMITY will result in immediate invalidation of test scores and will require retesting.
