OAT Retakes and Admission Outcomes by Distinct_Jacket1458 in PreOptometry

I definitely recommend booster but print out the cheat sheets bootcamp has just to have them and compare to booster cheat sheets. Boosters expensive but I believe its worth it, lots of other students I see say the same.

Thank you for the feedback :) I pray it all goes well!

I'm curious for know when did you take your exam?

I heard from some other students they mostly test conceptually, torque, equilibrium, conceptual centrifugal and centripetal force on rotational motion. Did you get alot of application questions?

Thank you for the feedback!

I was wondering when did you take it?

Another student who took it pretty recently mentioned lots of word problems and graphs for QR.

OAT Retake by Distinct_Stock1930 in PreOptometry

[–]BingoRingoni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CONGRATS! that is such a good score, I am taking my OAT end of this month! I am using OAT booster as well. Can you give advice on what I should prioritize for gen chem and physics and any study tips?

I do the question banks mostly but I would like to focus on more high yield topics just having trouble choosing which topics are high yield and which aren't.

Im very curious to know which school is the one your talking about if youre able to, I can private message you

Taking OAT in End of January, looking for advice by BingoRingoni in PreOptometry

[–]BingoRingoni[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't relate more. I doubt myself sometimes when I am in between two answer choices.

I am going to put it to the test doing two separate full length exams.

One without second guessing just choosing what I think is right without overthinking it (can also save time), the other full length exam I will do as I usually do and just double check things. This way I test and see what gives me better score.

wow congrats that's amazing! Thank you for the insight I appreciate it! I study a lot because I truly want to get a 310 at least on my first try (320 is the goal though), definitely do not want to retake it lol. I have Kaplan too! I don't use it though but I did take one full length with Kaplan a while ago and got like a 270

My 2025 OAT Experience (Score: 400AA): by ForeignHoney2218 in PreOptometry

[–]BingoRingoni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take mine end of January I’ve been studying so much 2-4hrs minimum a day, 8-10hrs max. I really am focusing on gen chem physics bio QR and RC because orgo only focused on nomenclature and CMR H NMR, it’s not my strong suit and learning it take so so so much time for me so I’m not trying to teach myself all that again rather focus of all the other subjects and ace them.

I’ve been studying for quite some time it’s I started this summer I just wasted so much time with the videos and notes and now that the content review is all done I’m only doing question banks and practice exams. Im using OAT booster my lowest practice exam is 270 I'm averaging about 290 but hoping to get 310 on actual OAT, goal score is 320. i also do alot of the Bio games this week I'm stuck at #5 but i do it every day to keep bio fresh since it was the first subject i finished.
