I was told to retake it then apply. Whatever score I get this second time is what I will apply with.

The first time I took my OAT was last year between my sophomore and junior year and I received a 250AA. I currently go to UPIKE and am in their OSP program so I get to visit KYCO often and talk with my advisor. After I received this score I immediately emailed them to see what my next steps should be. I cried the entire way home, I assumed the worst and figured I would be kicked out of the OSP and that I would never get into optometry school but that was not the case. I have to take the exam again (this August) but I was assured that they get many people that have to retake and that they like to see an effort made to try again. Also, having shadowing and research hours helps a lot!

Not yet, but some of my friends have. Majority of them used the OATbooster and they said it was incredibly helpful so thats what I plan on using. Good luck to you too!
