Who needs to retest?
The law requires that individuals who score below a deviation standard set by the Coordinating Board must retest. The Coordinating Board has set the deviation standard and those standards can be found in the Texas Success Initiative rules (www.thecb.state.tx.us). Students who score above the deviation standard but below the passing standard on their initial test do not have to retest by law, but institutions may require students to do so as part of their developmental education plan. Students may retest using the test they took initially or any other Board-approved test.
