The Texas Higher Education Assessment (THEA) is a state-legislated program that requires students to be assessed in reading, writing, and math skills prior to enrolling in a Texas public institution. The test is mandated for all Texas public institutions by the Texas Education Code (TEC).

The Texas Higher Education Assessment (THEA) Test is designed to provide information about the reading, mathematics, and writing skills of students entering public colleges, universities, and educator preparation programs in public and private institutions.

The THEA Test is the new name for the TASP Test. The content of the THEA Test is the same as the former TASP Test. The THEA Test has been approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, under Senate Bill 286, Texas Education Code, Section 51.3062: Texas Success Initiative, for use by Texas institutions of higher education as an assessment instrument for entering students. The THEA Test provides the diagnostic data required by this legislation.

The THEA Test is the only assessment developed specifically to evaluate the readiness of students for college-level coursework in Texas.

It was developed by National Evaluation Systems, Inc. (NES), through a rigorous review and approval process supported by skilled and experienced Texas educators.

All THEA Test questions have been reviewed by committees of Texas educators to ensure content accuracy and to prevent potential bias.

The THEA Test is offered in the following testing formats:

The THEA paper-and-pencil test is offered five times a year at sites across Texas.
The THEA Quick Test is the same as the THEA paper-and-pencil test and is offered by many colleges, universities, and high schools on a schedule determined by the institution.
