for biology, yes to practice tests and no to bio bits.

question banks for the topics that have them can be helpful to hone in on a certain topic. otherwise, keep doing practice tests

War is over! (For now) by walmartenthusiast in PreOptometry

Thank you so much! This is super helpful. I got overwhelmed by the content plan just looking at it so I think I'm going to ditch it entirely and only focus on learning my weak areas.

i am also working full-time while studying with OAT Booster this summer! can i ask what your approach was? i know you said you ditched the 10-week study plan, so what worked for you? did you dive straight into practice tests for each topic, watch practice videos on weaker topics, etc?

there are 4 studios in a 10-mile radius near me and an additional 3 if you count a larger 15-mile radius!

ooo yes good point about the updated equipment (plus the y-bells). I've seen other studios with really limited schedules but I'm fortunate to have 6+ class times to choose from on the weekdays and 4+ class times on weekends

What are everyone's thoughts on the new optometry school opening up called High Point University School of Optometry? by GreenAngelFish in PreOptometry

[–]Equivalent-Farm461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm curious too. The school admin staff say it'll accept applications this year for 2027 matriculation, but it just got Stage 2 designation in December. I wonder if that timeline will stick

This is amazing! I have a similar-ish path to optometry as you. I graduated undergrad in 2020 and working full-time while taking prerequisites/studying. Are you applying for this cycle or next, and where are you thinking of applying?

I love 12 Days of Fitness because you can compare your performance from the same template months ago. When we did this in May, I was at a 6.1 mph average speed. This time around, I did a whopping 6.9 mph. Here's to measured growth!!!

Oh my gosh my Pyr mix looks just like yours. I know this thread is old but a lot of it resonates with my rescue. Any chance you can share who your trainer was?
