1. Read the passage: Mara had practiced the piece for weeks, but when the auditorium lights dimmed, her hands felt like someone else's. She looked once at the third row, where her grandfather sat with his hat in his lap, and then set her fingers on the keys. Which inference about Mara is best supported by the passage?
- A. She has not practiced enough to play the piece well.
- B. She wants to leave the stage before she has to play.
- C. She is nervous, but seeing her grandfather helps her begin.
- D. Her grandfather is the person who taught her the piece.
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: C. She is nervous, but seeing her grandfather helps her begin.
Hands that feel like someone else's signal nerves, and she starts playing right after she looks at her grandfather, so his presence steadies her. The passage says she practiced for weeks, which rules out the first option, and nothing in it says who taught her.
2. Read the passage: City blocks with many street trees are often noticeably cooler on summer afternoons than nearby blocks with few trees. Trees shade pavement that would otherwise soak up heat, and their leaves release water vapor that cools the surrounding air. Some cities now map their hottest neighborhoods and plant trees there first. Which statement best expresses the main idea?
- A. Pavement absorbs more heat than any other surface in a city.
- B. Most city residents prefer neighborhoods with many trees.
- C. Planting trees is the cheapest way for a city to save energy.
- D. Street trees cool city blocks, and some cities use that to decide where to plant.
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: D. Street trees cool city blocks, and some cities use that to decide where to plant.
A main idea has to cover the whole passage: the cooling effect, the reasons for it and what cities do about it. The pavement option is only one detail, and the passage says nothing about what residents prefer or what is cheapest.
3. Read the sentence: The committee's report was candid about the project's failures, listing every missed deadline and every budget overrun. As used in the sentence, candid most nearly means
- A. frank
- B. brief
- C. hopeful
- D. confusing
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. frank
The rest of the sentence is the clue: a report that lists every missed deadline and overrun is open and honest about bad news, which is what frank means. Vocabulary questions on the TSIA2 ask for the meaning in context, so always test your choice back in the sentence.
4. Passage 1: A four-day school week saves districts money on buses, heating and substitute teachers, and many principals say it helps them recruit teachers and cuts the school days students miss for appointments. Passage 2: A four-day week can leave working parents searching for child care on the fifth day, and some studies have found small drops in student learning. Which statements would the authors of both passages most likely accept? Select all that apply.
Vælg alle, der passer.
- A. Districts should switch to a four-day week.
- B. A four-day week changes more than the school calendar.
- C. A four-day week has no effect on how much students learn.
- D. The schedule affects adults as well as students.
- E. Saving money is the only reason districts consider the change.
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. A four-day week changes more than the school calendar., D. The schedule affects adults as well as students.
Both authors describe effects that reach beyond the calendar, and both mention adults as well as students: Passage 1 talks about teachers and students' appointments, Passage 2 about parents and student learning. Passage 2 would reject the claim that learning is unaffected, neither author recommends a switch outright, and Passage 1 gives a recruiting reason besides money.
5. Read the passage: For decades, many teachers told students that rereading their notes was the best way to study. Then researchers compared students who reread with students who quizzed themselves. A week later, the students who quizzed themselves remembered more. Today many study guides recommend practice tests. What is the main purpose of the second sentence?
- A. It introduces the research that challenged the older advice.
- B. It explains why teachers recommended rereading.
- C. It gives the result of the comparison.
- D. It states the passage's final recommendation.
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. It introduces the research that challenged the older advice.
The first sentence sets up the old advice, and the second turns the passage toward the study that tested it. The result only arrives in the third sentence and the recommendation in the fourth, so purpose questions reward looking at what a sentence does in the order of the passage.
6. Which version of the sentence is punctuated correctly?
- A. The library closes at nine, students should leave by then.
- B. The library closes at nine; students should leave by then.
- C. The library closes at nine students should leave by then.
- D. The library closes, at nine students should leave by then.
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. The library closes at nine; students should leave by then.
The sentence joins two complete thoughts, and a semicolon can join them on its own. A comma alone creates a comma splice, no punctuation at all creates a run-on, and the last option moves the comma so the meaning breaks.
7. Choose the word that correctly completes the sentence: The list of required textbooks for the fall courses ____ posted on the college website.
- A. are
- B. were
- C. have been
- D. is
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: D. is
The subject is list, which is singular, so the verb is is. The plural words textbooks and courses sit inside the phrase that describes the list and do not change the verb, which is exactly the trap this kind of question sets.
8. Complete the passage.
The bridge was scheduled to reopen in May. _____, a shortage of steel pushed the opening back to August, so drivers will _____ need the detour this summer.
Muligheder for felt 1: Therefore, However, Similarly, For example
Muligheder for felt 2: still, no longer, rarely, already
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: However, still
The second sentence contradicts the plan in the first, so it needs a contrast word like however. A delay to August means the detour stays in use, so still is the only adverb that fits the rest of the sentence.
9. Which of these sentences are written correctly? Select all that apply.
Vælg alle, der passer.
- A. Each of the players has a locker.
- B. Neither the coach nor the players was ready.
- C. Between you and me, the plan needs more work.
- D. The team celebrated it's first win of the season.
- E. Having finished the essay, the student turned it in early.
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. Each of the players has a locker., C. Between you and me, the plan needs more work., E. Having finished the essay, the student turned it in early.
Each is singular, so has is right, between takes the object pronoun me, and the student is the one who finished the essay, so the opening phrase is not dangling. With neither and nor the verb agrees with the nearer subject, players, so it should be were, and it's means it is, so the possessive is its.
10. A student's essay argues that the city library should stay open later on weekends. Which sentence would best support that claim?
- A. The library was built in 1962 and renovated twenty years ago.
- B. Last year the weekend study rooms were fully booked on 40 of 52 Saturdays.
- C. Many people enjoy reading in their free time.
- D. Some libraries in other countries also lend out tools.
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. Last year the weekend study rooms were fully booked on 40 of 52 Saturdays.
Evidence that supports a claim has to show a need for exactly what the writer asks for, and full study rooms on most Saturdays do that. The other sentences are true-sounding but beside the point: history, a general statement and a fact about other places.
11. The price of a monthly bus pass rose from $40 to $50. By what percent did the price increase?
- A. 10%
- B. 20%
- C. 25%
- D. 50%
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: C. 25%
Percent change is the change divided by the original value: 10 divided by 40 is 0.25, or 25 percent. Dividing by the new price, 50, gives 20 percent, which is the most common mistake on this kind of question.
12. If x + y = 10 and x - y = 4, what is the value of x?
- A. 3
- B. 6
- C. 7
- D. 14
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: C. 7
Add the two equations and y cancels: 2x = 14, so x = 7, and then y = 3. Check it in both equations, 7 + 3 = 10 and 7 - 3 = 4. Choosing 14 means stopping before dividing by 2, and 3 is the value of y.
13. Complete the sentence.
A hallway is 4 yards long, which is _____ feet, or _____ inches.
Muligheder for felt 1: 7, 12, 16, 48
Muligheder for felt 2: 48, 120, 144, 192
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: 12, 144
There are 3 feet in a yard, so 4 yards is 12 feet, and there are 12 inches in a foot, so 12 feet is 144 inches. Converting in two steps and writing the units down keeps you from multiplying by the wrong factor.
14. A survey asked 200 students how they get to school: 80 take the bus, 50 come by car, 40 walk and 30 ride a bike. Which statements are supported by the data? Select all that apply.
Vælg alle, der passer.
- A. Students who bike or walk outnumber students who take the bus.
- B. 40 percent of the students take the bus.
- C. More students walk than ride a bike.
- D. A randomly chosen student has a 1 in 4 chance of being a walker.
- E. One quarter of the students come by car.
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. 40 percent of the students take the bus., C. More students walk than ride a bike., E. One quarter of the students come by car.
80 out of 200 is 40 percent, 40 walkers beat 30 cyclists, and 50 out of 200 is one quarter. Bikes and walkers together make 70, fewer than the 80 bus riders, and the chance of picking a walker is 40 out of 200, which is 1 in 5.
15. Complete the sentence.
If 2(x + 3) = 20, then x = _____.
Muligheder for felt 1: 7, 8.5, 10, 17
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: 7
Divide both sides by 2 to get x + 3 = 10, then subtract 3 to get x = 7. Answering 8.5 means multiplying the 2 only into the x and not the 3, so distribute to every term inside the parentheses.
Hvad TSIA2 er, og hvem der skal tage den
TSI Assessment 2.0, eller TSIA2, er en prøve fra Texas. Texas Success Initiative er en delstatslov, der kræver, at offentlige colleges og universiteter i Texas tjekker, om nye bachelorstuderende er klar til kurser på første år, og TSIA2 er den prøve, de bruger til studerende, der ikke er fritaget. College Board laver den for Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB). Skal du ikke begynde på et offentligt college eller universitet i Texas, har du højst sandsynligt ikke brug for den.
Ikke alle skal tage den. College Board nævner fritagelser som at opfylde standarden for studieparathed på SAT, ACT eller STAAR end-of-course-prøverne, at have gennemført et forberedende collegekursus i high school, tidligere collegekurser og militærtjeneste, med ekstra betingelser for nogle af dem. En studievejleder på dit college eller din high school kan fortælle dig, om en af dem gælder for dig. Før du tilmelder dig, skal du også gennemføre en Pre-Assessment Activity, som dit college eller dit skoledistrikt stiller til rådighed.
Prøven har to fag. Engelsk sprog og læsning (ELAR) begynder med 30 multiple choice-spørgsmål, halvdelen om at læse skønlitterære, faglige og parrede tekster og halvdelen om at bearbejde og rette sætninger og korte essayudkast, efterfulgt af et essay på 300 til 600 ord, der bedømmes fra 1 til 8. Matematik begynder med 20 multiple choice-spørgsmål. Begge er adaptive, så spørgsmålene bliver sværere eller lettere ud fra dine svar, og begge er uden tidsgrænse. Multiple choice-delen af hvert fag angives på en skala fra 910 til 990, og lander du under grænsen for studieparathed, går du videre til en diagnostisk prøve med 48 spørgsmål, der viser dine styrker og svage punkter.
Selve grænserne fastsættes af THECB og er blevet justeret før, så denne side skriver ikke noget tal. Tjek TSIA2-siderne på College Boards ACCUPLACER-side, THECB eller dit colleges testcenter for de scorer, der gælder, når du går op.
Sådan bruger du smagsprøven
De 15 spørgsmål følger indholdsområderne i TSIA2 i miniature. Spørgsmål 1 til 5 er læsning: en slutning ud fra et kort uddrag af en fortælling, hovedbudskabet og et ord i sammenhæng fra en faglig tekst, et par korte tekster, der skal sammenlignes, og formålet med en sætning. Spørgsmål 6 til 10 er skrivning: tegnsætning, kongruens mellem subjekt og verbum, overgange, en række sætninger, der skal tjekkes, og det belæg, der bedst støtter en påstand. Spørgsmål 11 til 15 giver smagsprøver på de fire matematikområder. Vil du have et fuldt sæt kun med matematik, så tag TSI Math-øveprøven, der er linket herunder.
På den rigtige prøve er hvert spørgsmål multiple choice med ét svar. Spørgsmålene med vælg alle der passer og udfyld det tomme felt her er øveformater, der får dig til at tjekke hver mulighed i stedet for at stoppe ved den første, der ser rigtig ud. Tag prøven i ét stræk, og læs hver tekst før spørgsmålet. TSIA2 har ingen tidsgrænse, så træn i at arbejde omhyggeligt frem for hurtigt.
Læs så hver forklaring, også til de spørgsmål, du svarede rigtigt på. Et forkert svar på spørgsmål 6 eller 9 peger som regel på en vane i grammatik eller tegnsætning, der vil koste point i hele skrivedelen, så ret vanen, ikke kun den ene sætning.
En ærlig bemærkning: StudyPDF-teamet har skrevet hvert spørgsmål her ud fra de indholdskategorier, College Board offentliggør. Ingen af dem er rigtige TSIA2-spørgsmål, ingen kommer fra College Boards eksempelspørgsmål eller et kursusfirmas spørgsmålsbank, og StudyPDF er ikke tilknyttet College Board eller THECB.
Sådan bygger du flere øveprøver ud fra dit eget materiale
Femten spørgsmål kan vise dig, om læsning, skrivning eller matematik kræver mest arbejde. De kan ikke gøre dig klar alene, især ikke når dit hold eller din eksamensbog bruger mere tid på ét område end på et andet.
StudyPDF tager i stedet udgangspunkt i dit materiale. Upload din eksamensbog, dine noter fra timerne eller de arbejdsark, din lærer har delt ud. Tryk derefter på Nyt materiale, vælg en øveprøve, vælg de filer som kilder, og bestem, hvor lang den skal være. Du får en prøve skrevet ud fra præcis de sider, og hver forklaring henviser til, hvor svaret kommer fra.
Bo er tutoren til resten. Spørg ham, hvorfor et svar er rigtigt, så forklarer han det ud fra dine egne sider, med et hint først, hvis du vil have et.
Du behøver ikke uploade noget for at komme i gang. Nævn i stedet et emne, for eksempel kommafejl mellem helsætninger eller lineære ligningssystemer, så får du øvespørgsmål om det. Det er gratis at starte.
