THEA Scores & Alternative Tests Scores Required for Admission

THEA Requirement - How to meet

Beginning June 8, 2009, all applicants must take and pass the THEA (previously called TASP) or an approved alternative: Accuplacer,  Asset, or Compass.  All three parts must be passed, but applicants may use a  combination of tests and test dates.  There is no time limit on how old these tests may be. 

The Accuplacer, Compass, and Quick THEA are given at Tarleton, but require an appointment.  Call 254-968-9423 or go to University Testing in Room 201 in the Math Building for more information.  If you need to take the writing portion, please ask to take the essay portion first and tell them that it is for the Teacher Education Program. 

All parts must be passed by the end of the application semester.

If you need to find out your current test scores, please check with your advisor or send your name and ID number in an email to andrews@tarleton.edu.
