Q. Do I have to take the math assesment?

Q. If I have high scores on my ACT/SAT in English, do I have to take English 104?
A. Students can be exempted from English 150 and receive 3 hours of "T" credit for 150 if they meet the following criteria AND receive a "C" or better in English 250 taken at Iowa State University:
  • If using ACT-E scores: ACT-E score of 24 or higher OR ACT-E score of 23 and high school rank of at least 75% or higher.
  • If using SAT-V scores: SAT-V score of 550 or higher OR SAT-V score of 540 and high school rank of at least 75% or higher.
Students who do not have a high school rank but do have an ACT-E of 23 or SAT-V of 540 must take English 150 unless they pass the College Composition Writing Sample (English 150 Test-Out Exam).
This policy affects not only new students but also current students who have not yet fulfilled their First-Year Composition requirements.
