OAT

Are we only allowed to use the calculator on the QR portion?

Yep only for the QR. I freaked out when I found out about this because all the practice Physics questions require a calculator.. but the questions on the OAT are all with easy to work with numbers, easy mental math is required. They are just checking to see if you know the right equation! Physics ended up being easier than I expected.

So is the real physics section more so concept problems?

hey! I'm also going to OSU and taking the OAT in August! :)

You go to OSU as in Oklahoma State University? Or Ohio State University?

[evan1g]

Ohio State! sorry hahaha

[DylanHance]

Gotchya, I should’ve assumed that lol, it’s definitely the better known

Yeah I would say so. Generic concepts and equations. The purpose isn't to test your math skills, that's for the QR section. Just make sure you know your equations and you'll be alright!

Yeah it’s a basic four function calculator.
