Placement Testing
Once you’ve been admitted to a college or university, the next step is to determine for what level coursework you are academically prepared to pursue. Using the results of one of the following assessments, your college advisor will assist you with developing your college graduation plan and selecting your classes each semester.
THEA
Students entering a 4-year Texas public college or university may also need to take the Texas Higher Education Assessment (THEA) before enrolling in any college-level coursework. For information about whether you are exempt from this test, contact your high school counselor, or the college you plan to attend.

The results of the assessment, in conjunction with your academic background, goals, and interests, are used by academic advisors and counselors to determine your course selection. Contact the community college you plan to attend for their testing schedule and fees.
