Math Placement Exam for engineering major

My 16 yo is attending TAMU this fall at College Station as a MechE major in the engineering honors program. He’s finishing up AP Calc AB, with a good chance of getting a 5 on the exam.

He finished the placement exam last week. I think he scored 82%

Two things:

  1. He didn’t study or prep for it at all.
  2. It was more difficult than he anticipated.

I think is you are strong in math, you’ll be fine. If you are not, you better do some prep! You just need to pass. Your actual score doesn’t matter.
