After you've been accepted to an Oklahoma state college or
university, your academic advisor will help you get a good start by
ensuring 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. If you scored a
19 or better on a subject test, you'll be placed in a
credit-earning course for that subject area.
If you scored below 19 on a subject test, you may undergo
additional testing in an area. If that test shows you're ready for
college-level work, you'll be placed in a credit-earning course. If
the test indicates you're not ready, you'll be placed in a remedial
course that will prepare you for a credit-earning course.
It is important to note that institutions may require higher ACT
subject scores for admission. As with other college admission
issues, please consult with your college advisor prior to
enrollment at a particular college.
