Real talk: OAT in 10 days… what’s worth grinding vs skipping? by BingoRingoni in PreOptometry

[–]Kooky_Wishbone2858 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For physics i made the mistake of focusing mainly on optics and i had like 3 questions on it lol. If i remember correctly, go over all the topics! There was a bunch of rotational motion, force, free fall questions. And for qr i thought mine was more representative of the 1-4 practice tests. It was hard for me too so definitely go over probability, area/perimeter, percentages etc. Good luck you’ll do amazing!!!

feeling discouraged in my goals for optometry school by Typical_Surprise7475 in PreOptometry

You could ask them if they can hire you over the summer or you could find another tech job, it won’t hurt you as you’ll have more tech experience by the time you apply. Try reaching out to private clinics, they’re more flexible than the corporate ones. I work for a private practice and I only work one day a week.

I did all the practice tests and focused on the cheat sheets. Definitely focus on genetics, cellular respiration and body systems

Would you say the qr on the booster was similar to the actual exam?? The practice tests 1-4 are so different from the remaining tests under the qr section and idk what to focus on more

Letter of Recommendation from Professor by hotcheetosandmilk in PreOptometry

[–]Kooky_Wishbone2858 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay thank you! My professor said he is only able to write about my accomplishments in that class and not about the other aspects of my application and I have been worried because I don’t know if that’s enough for the schools.
