My daughter thinks that a 25 on her Math ACT is good enough to get in. She has a high composite score and a 31 in Language Arts as well as JLP (Coast Guard ROTC) experience for 4 years and a ton of sports and other activities. She's going to AIM, and has a lot of leadership kudos. I say that 25 in Math is too low, period. What do you think?
 
Honestly anyone can get to like a 28 if they have enough problem solving tools. A 25 is sort of a prep school level score in math she should definitely devote a lot of time and effort to that.
 
Your daughter can get an ACT prep book and learn some specific strategies for tackling the math portion. It's not (merely) about solving problems - it's also about recognizing what principles are targeted on the ACT. If your daughter can refresh herself on a handful of principles, she'll be in good shape regardless of what kind of problem is in the question.
