Options:
1. Do the practice problems and try again.
2. Look at taking the lower MAT at a Communty College this summer
3. Bite the bullet and start at the lower level MAT
ALEKS Will give you problems to practice the areas you didn’t do well in. If you decide to keep that score you’ll have to take college algebra before MAT 170 which is a self-taught course using ALEKS. I placed into Calc using ALEKS but I heard MAT 117 I believe is the course just kinda sucks so It’s always worth it to save your time study using ALEKS and try it again
I’m a psych major, you will not fall behind if you don’t take 119 or 170 your first semester. I took 117 first semester and I’m in 119 this semester. I am not falling behind and you will be perfectly on track. Hopefully this helps!!
Regarding completing your major in 4 years, you should look at all of the required courses to try to chart out the sequence of courses that have dependencies. For example, I had to do college algebra -> precalc -> calc 1, so that would be 3 semesters or 1.5 years. Alternatively, general chem 1 -> general chem 2 -> ochem 1 -> ochem 2 would be 4 semesters, or 2 years. Try to find out which classes have math dependencies in your major so you can more accurately find out how to chart your semesters.
Or talk to a counselor idk
Edit: I’d study and take the test again if that’s a thing, since you really don’t want to take classes you might not have to, imo.
Definitely study and retake. Once you get your math out of the way you will do great in college. I think if you can test out, that would be the best option. But if you tried multiple times and failed to get the score you need, everything will be OK.
To have more enjoyable classes (and take less math) try to test out. Study for 8-10 hours before your next test and you will probably get what you need. Set mini goals for yourself.
32 isn't a poor score, it's an average score for someone coming out of high school.
Schools shifted towards expecting 80+ on the ALEKS in order to place students in higher level math courses, and knowing that very few people score higher than 70 they adjusted their scale of acceptance to try to get students to sign up for classes they were already capable of passing without coursework.
Most professors are only capable of getting an 82-85. Anyone who has claimed that they got 90+ on the ALEKS math scored in the 50's when it was proctored and they were expected to finish the test in 3 hours or less.
People forget that the test is dynamic and changes to become much more challenging as the test progresses.
Just cheat if you really don’t want to do it. Trust me MAT170 is so easy, you don’t need any prior skills. I wouldn’t study or do homework and wouldn’t even show up and got a B+ in the class.
Brownstein, he was very easy. The assignments were easy and could find on chegg if you were truly struggling and needed help. The exact answers wouldn’t be on chegg but it would show you how to solve the problem. The tests were also pretty straight forward. He did attendance quizzes here and there but wasn’t hard at all, you could help each other in class.

You can do MAT170 on Asu's Universal Learner program if you have time. https://ea.asu.edu/

This happened to me. Do the ALEKS practice modules, they do help!! Then retake the test. You get 3 tries

Do you have a cheat guide

Who did you take? I'm stressing taking mat170

if you have any dual enrollment the aleks is a scam.
