Texas
Higher Education Assessment
The new name for the TASP Test is the THEA 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

Institutions of higher education as an assessment instrument for entering
students. The THEA Test provides the diagnostic data required by this legislation.
