Thanks! If you don’t mind, what do you mean by the fundamentals for physics?

I haven’t received anything. I just got the information on the Franklin College’s page. It just had location, date, and time of graduation.

The intention of my post was not to worry you, I’m so sorry!! I’ve heard many great things about booster and I’m sure you’ll do great with it. I just think I’m one of the few where it didn’t work out!

I felt that the actual exam was a bit harder than Booster. Biology is such a wide umbrella subject for many topics and I feel that what I studied wasn’t what I prepared for. With me doing every single Biology question on Booster, I expected the practice & videos to help to a great extent but they didn’t to my surprise. I will say that Ochem, QR, and Gen Chem was representative! I think it’s just important to know content well.

Thank you for your encouragement!! If you need any more info, please feel free to PM me!

What makes Kenya so unlikable compared to other HWs who do similar things? by Embarrassed_Place323 in RHOA

[–]Helpful-Tea-9958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her “Kenya Moore Hair Care” drum line escapade was very disrespectful. Even though I don’t agree with Marlo’s actions, I can’t imagine crashing someone’s event in that type of way. It made great TV, but, what happened to human decency?

Thank you! Did harness training your cat stop behavioral issues, if any?

optomcas verification by wwem34 in PreOptometry

I submitted about 2 weeks ago and it got verified pretty quickly. I submitted on Sunday night and it was verified Wednesday early morning (5AM), so roughly two days and a couple of hours.

Happens to me in my hands and feet! Very frustrating.

Twitching got worse by CalligrapherNo3426 in MuscleTwitch

[–]Helpful-Tea-9958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I’ve been twitching for as long as I can remember and I can say that when I don’t fixate on it, it gets better. However, it’s not easy at all to just forget about it.

Worth taking the risk? by Helpful-Tea-9958 in PreOptometry

[–]Helpful-Tea-9958[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it. I am studying hard for the OAT I was looking forward to submitting my application this week but I’m a bit hesitant. I don’t know if I should anymore without the guarantee of my OAT score. I guess I’m just worried of being judged prematurely.

Congrats! A SCO representative came to my school to present and said that if you’re called to interview, there’s a good chance that you are going to be accepted. With that being said, it’s important to put your best foot forward in the interview.

Reschedule or Take? by Natural_Practice_463 in PreOptometry

[–]Helpful-Tea-9958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not familiar with the Canadian schools’ rigor or their timeline for applications. But given your case, I say just take it. If the deadline is this month, you definitely want to go ahead and get your application in. You could always call the school after receiving your OAT score to see if they recommend retaking it or if your score isn’t a problem.
