All Information about the TSI Assessment in Writing
The TSI Assessment in writing has a multiple-choice section and an essay part.
The multiple-choice section
The multiple-choice section on the TSI Assessment in writing is designed to assess your skill level in relation to the four topics seen below. There are about 20 questions on the TSI placement test and 10-12 questions in each section of the TSI diagnostic test.
- Essay Revision measures your ability to demonstrate coherence, organization, and correct word selection. It also assesses your ability to use rhetorical methods well and to use evidence.
- Agreement looks at how well you use subject-verb agreement and pronoun agreement. It also tests your capacity to use verb tenses.
- Sentence Structure measures your knowledge of subjects including run-on sentences and comma splices; fragments and parallelism; improper punctuation; and coordination and subordination.
- Sentence Logic measures your ability to correctly use modifying clauses and phrases and looks at how well you use transitions.
Essay Section
In this section, you may be asked to construct a five-paragraph (250-500 words essay), which adopts the persuasive form. You may be told to write on a current or controversial topic or issue. You will need to clearly put forward your main idea and give specific examples to back up this main idea. You will also need to make sure you stick to the conventions of standard English. You will not be allowed to use resources such as a dictionary. You can, however, use plain scratch paper to draft and/or plan out your essay.
