I passed my TSIA2 test, and honestly I tried out so many different websites; Mathhelp was by far the best and worth every penny! It was easy to follow and went over exactly what I needed to know.

I started using MathHelp because I was going to take a placement test to go back to College. The test went really well. My score on Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra, and Statistics was 274 which is very good for the Next-Gen Accuplacer test. The lady at the College said it was the best score she had seen in a while. I have nothing but to thank MathHelp for the review and the very well structured and easy to follow classes, it really helped me. I'm starting College Algebra this upcoming Spring Semester and will definitely come back to MathHelp in case I need some outside help.

My Math TSIA2 went great! I completed and passed the first 20 questions and didn’t have to finish the rest. 👍🏼 I think the lessons were great, coming from someone who hasn’t studied this material in 20 years. It was very thorough and you did a great job! Thanks again!

My TSIA2 test went great. I passed the test my first try and math is not my strongest subject so this course helped a lot. Thank you!

I did well on the TSIA2 and am thankful for your course. I found the instruction and pace to be very helpful. The amount of practice questions provided for each topic was perfect and I liked how I could pause the quizzes to review the material a little more if I felt unsure. I’m very happy to have found MathHelp and will sing its praises from here on out. Thank you so much for the help you provided!

Thank you SO MUCH! I PASSED THE TSI WITH FLYING COLORS and I wouldn't have walked in there with the confidence had it not been for your awesome program! I really feel like how you explained it made it click for me. I was able to comprehend the material and feel like that is due in large to the direct, repetitive nature of the course. It's organized very well. The fact that there's audio for every practice problem is VERY helpful. It's one thing to have a video teaching a concept, but to have you explaining the work and reinforcing the concepts as I'm practicing on my own really helped more than just having the answer given without explanation.

The TSIA2 course I took was a tremendous help. I went into the course knowing very little about math other than middle school level basics. I took math when I was in high school but I never understood what was going on and I had just barley scrapped by. This course is the first thing I've ever been able to understand on the topic of math. I feel confident to go to college now that I have a clue on what's going on. Thank you so much.

That course was the absolute reason in my success of the TSIA2 test. I did pass it and can take College level algebra instead of developmental math. Specifically speaking, the quadratic equations, functions/graphing, linear equations in two variables and expressions, equations and formulas really helped. So I'd most definitely give that course a lot of credit to helping me pass.

What is Alamo Colleges known for?

Five colleges form the Alamo Colleges District. One of the more recent additions, Northwest Vista College offers over 18,000 students the opportunity to study in traditional and non-traditional forums through its main campus and several satellite locations. Palo Alto College was a finalist for the 2019 Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence. St. Philip’s College was traditionally a black college since its founding in 1898 and continues to adapt to meet the needs of an ethnically diverse community. It has two campuses: the Martin Luther King Campus (MLK) and the Southwest Campus (SW). San Antonio College typically has an enrollment of over 20,000 students per semester and bears the namesake of the city in which the four preceding district colleges are located. Situated just to the northeast, in Universal City, Texas, Northeast Lakeview College opened in 2007 and, after ten years, received full accreditation through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).

Enrollment into one of the five colleges in the district is handled through ApplyTexas. A high school transcript with GPA or official scores from the GED will be expected. SAT or ACT scores that are sufficiently high may preclude the necessity of taking the TSI assessment. If this test is required, students may need to use the Go FAARR and Test Prep modules. In addition to statewide testing and Post-Assessment advising, students should be prepared to take two college-readiness testing modules through the district’s online interface, ACES.

Different colleges within the district offer different programs. For example, Northeast Lakeview College, Palo Alto College, and San Antonio College all offer a Biology program that has a pre-nursing emphasis. The last of these three schools has a designated nursing program that prepares students, through either the generic program or the career mobility program (which has either a vocational nurse or a military mobility track), to seek licensure through the Texas Board of Nursing upon completing the Associate of Applied Science Degree and passing the National Council Licensing Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). SPC has both a Vocational Nursing program and an LVN/Military to ADN program. The latter provides a single year of accelerated studies that may enable Licensed Vocational Nurses to attain an associate degree more rapidly.

Most of the colleges in the district, like Northwest Vista College, offer programs specifically designed for obtaining an Associate of Arts in Teaching (AAT). This degree may enable graduates to fill the position of assistant teacher in schools. They may also, along with graduates from an Associate of Arts degree program in another discipline, transfer to a four-year institution and, upon completion of their studies, seek to obtain certification as a teacher.
