<p>On my most recent ACT, I received a:</p>
<p>24-Math
25-Science</p>
<p>I've taken:
Algebra I
Algebra II
Geometry
College Algebra (taking it now)</p>
<p>Plan to take Calculus 1 over the summer.</p>
<p>Can I still be successful in engineering programs at colleges such as Purdue and Iowa State? I'm a very dedicated person, who works extremely hard.</p>
<p>Need more info to render an opinion.</p>
<p>What year in school are you?<br>
What grades did you get in those math classes?
What science classes have you taken and what were the grades in those classes?</p>
<p>Standard test scores are not a good indicator of success. If you usually feel overwhelmed in math and science courses, math or science degree is probably not for you. But if you feel that with time and dedication you are able to prepare yourself it can work out for you.</p>
<p>I’m a senior in high school.
Algebra 1 - B+
Algebra 2 - A
Geometry - B
College Algebra - A+</p>
<p>Biology - A
Chemistry - B+, A-
Physics- B+ (was always about 1% away from an A)
Science and Technology - A
Forensics - A</p>
<p>I attend a very rigorous/challenging high school.</p>
<p>Test scores don’t really mean ****. I think I got a 23 on my ACT math back in the day. Last spring/summer I took Calc 2 & 3 with this girl who got a 36 on her ACT math. I made off with an A in both classes. She pulled a B in Calc 2 and a C in Calc 3. It wasn’t due to lack of effort either.</p>

same here bro. got a 23 on Math ACT score and ended up scoring A’s in all my engineering math courses, and my friends with over 30, didn’t do so well. They always met me for help, but my secret is that I study alone…</p>
<p>You’ll certainly have to work hard, but you should manage just fine if you’re dedicated.</p>
<p>Its more if you are willing to put in the effort and work hard, as well as seek help when needed, you will be fine.</p>
<p>I find it is more of if you put in the time, you will see the results, as it is with mostly everything. Most people I know that put in the time get good grades, whereas those who don’t, don’t do as well.(of course there are exceptions).</p>
<p>Now, granted I am at a Community college, and not university, I know it is a little different, but nonetheless when my math classes have averages of 65% on exams, and the average grade being a C-, or the physics department having over half of the people drop(55% average in the class), the teacher went to ivy league. It feels really good getting 100% on exams or an A in the class(4.0 GPA thus far).
And in highschool, well, I was lazy.
I got a 25 on the ACT, and roughly a 1800 on the SAT. My highschool GPA was a 2.5. Yes, I took AP classes as well. But I never tried.</p>
<p>So take it as you will, but moral of the story:</p>
<p>Put in the time and effort and you will see results.</p>
