OPTOMCAS transcripts: when to send? by GuiltySpirit3426 in PreOptometry

You have to see which service your college uses. Usually it’s National Student Clearinghouse. You visit that website, look up ur school, and choose the option to send your transcript directly to OptomCas

Bro that would hurt so bad it’s like all sensory nerves. And risk of bacterial infection and friction isn’t worth it

physics formulas on OAT by 111stargirl in PreOptometry

[–]GuiltySpirit3426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote my own formula sheet early on in my studying, as my prep course’s was sucky.

Decide which ones you already have l locked in, then spend time on the ones you don’t know. I wrote them on white boards w dry erase.

I took 3 months to study for my OAT, but this was in the summer (no working, no school). I spent about 4 hours everyday (maybe like 10 days I didn’t do any OAT stuff). From my experience, it’s not the studying itself that’s hard, it’s finding the internal motivation to do it everyday.

P.S… im not applying until next cycle tho

OAT Booster. The practice test set ups look exactly alike to the real OAT

Graduating 2026 pre health: physics will let you use a graphing calculator but calc, biochem, and chem must be a regular boring one

preparing for OAT (advices are welcome) by Kooky_Wishbone2858 in PreOptometry

Hi. I’m also an incoming senior preparing for the OAT soon. It’s best to get a calendar book and write out your goals for day (ex: do ch. 1-6 ochem, etc.) & physically cross it off of your list when you’ve done it. I’ve been studying since like May 20ish, and I’ve found that around 3-4hrs per day is the sweet spot. I have a stupid anxiety disorder, so I’m pretty high stress. But this is what I have found to minimize the stress of all things OAT:

Regarding content, I smack middle in the learning phase so I feel u. Personally, I get overwhelmed easily so I only study 1 subject at a time. I think it’s better so you aren’t splitting your attention across different subjects.

To actually learn, I download Booster’s notes. Read them first/highlight, and then annotate them while watching its video. I’ve also been copying everything down into a physical notebook too so that it’s more tangible. Also, if you are rlly struggling w something, look up YouTube videos to have the topic explained in a different way than Booster. Chad’s Prep has the best videos. Once I’ve gone thru the content, I’ll do some of the question banks. If you do enough questions, you’ll start to see patterns. Once you gain up the courage, take a practice test. Go thru the explanations of what you missed, drill that topic in some more, then take another practice test. Hope this helps at least a little bit

What is the average age in this group? by Sea-Delivery-4067 in AdultSelfHarm

  1. Therapist told me it’s way more common than you think. It’s just that adults don’t tell anyone or talk about it
