[QUOTE="Dr. Courtney, post: 5587838, member: 117790"] I've seen more STEM majors flunk out or shift to humanities from underpreparation in algebra and trig than anything else. Until your ALEKS precalc pie is 100%, anything else is a fantasy and a waste of time. After that, the path to moving forward depends on your strengths and weaknesses and on your personal goals. Seeing someone's detailed ACT subscores in Math and Science makes it a lot easier to advise them. If you are sure you are great at all the high school math and science (including chemistry and physics), then I do recommend the Feynman Lectures. He has an approach to science itself and to physics that are complementary to what most undergrads see in their first two years, and it is very valuable. However, I find it best for most students in late high school and early college to assume that every grade they ever received from a teacher was a gift and not an indicator of their true mastery or abilities. I believe ALEKS, and I believe ACT scores and scores on AP tests. [/QUOTE]
