What's New with the THEA?

Some students in Texas may have the option of taking the THEA Internet-based test. The THEA IBT is available at certain institutions designated by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board; see the THEA Web site for information.

Students must confirm their eligibility for the THEA IBT with their testing institution prior to beginning the registration process.

A new online score-reporting system—available for faculty, institutions, and the coordinating board—allows users expanded access to test results data.
