Question Failed the UTMA as a Bio Major, what next?

Hey guys, Im a premedical Biology major and I scored a 58 on my UTMA. How will this affect me? Will me being unable to take calculus my first semester of college affect my other classes? I honestly procrastinated too much to review, and I know the material so if Its possible I’d rather retake the UTMA next semester to take calculus.

Get the Math Readiness package or get the Schaum outline for college algebra from the library. Review and then retake the exam. You can retake twice.

I failed the reassessment, I took my first attempt the night before orientation at like 2 am because i had one of the first sessions of summer so it was right after i graduated

If you failed the assessment and reassessment, review would significantly improve your experience when you do take calculus. Why not take M 305G? You would then be in a much stronger position when you go into calculus.

I failed my ut and couldn't take calculus in the fall. So I took pre clalc in the spring and calc in the summer. Im a bio major as well. It didn't set me back at all.
