Choosing the Right Courses
PUBLIC COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES
After you have been accepted to an Oklahoma state college or university, your academic advisor will help you get a good start by ensuring that you enroll in the right courses for your skill or knowledge level. Your ACT subject test scores in science, mathematics, reading and English will be reviewed.
Generally, if you scored a 19 or higher on a subject test, you will be placed in a college credit-earning course for that subject area. If you scored below 19 on a subject test, you may undergo additional testing in that area. If that test shows you are not yet ready for college-level work, you will be placed in a remedial course. Remedial courses can be stepping stones to success in college, but remember, remedial courses do not count toward a degree. It is best to prepare for college while you are in high school, so when you get to college, you can focus your time and money on getting your college degree.
