Preliminary results of a case study conducted spring of 2014 has concluded Texas students improved scores on the required Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSIA) for college placement by using the Querium™ TSI Math Prep program. 90% of students who used TSI Math Prep after their first sitting for the TSI Math Assessment increased their score.
TSIA is a placement test mandated by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) as part of the Texas Education Code ยง51.3062, to help Texas colleges determine if incoming students are ready for college-level course work in the general areas of reading, writing and mathematics.
Students potentially realized cost savings ranging from $266 to over $350 in avoided remedial
courses, as well as possibly incurring student loan debt. TSI Math Prep not only saved these students
money, but accelerated their college endeavors.
Querium TSI Math Prep is a competency-based refresher program designed specifically for the TSI Assessment for Mathematics. It provides complete coverage of the math strands assessed on the TSIA: Elementary Algebra and Functions; Intermediate Algebra and Functions; Geometry and Measurement; and Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability. Additionally, TSI Math Prep includes intervention instruction on relevant math standards from 6th grade and up.
In order to fit in with the mobile lifestyle of incoming community college students, the program is fully functional on smartphones and tablets as well as PC's and Mac's using a web browser.
The TSI Math Prep is the first product built on Querium's patent pending platform. The company is developing A.I-based tools that will evaluate students problem solving step by step. Read the complete case study
