<p>In terms of actually succeeding in engineering, a study at the University of Oregon indicates that students unable to make at least a 600 on the SAT math section are very unlikely to succeed majoring in math and physics; they suggest that engineering may be similar, but University of Oregon does not have engineering (and therefore no engineering students to study). The result is not that surprising – students who struggle with the high school level math on the SAT math section may be unable to handle the college level math that is heavily used in some majors.</p>
