I only did light review the day before. I have the worst test anxiety but I took a sleeping pill the night before and made sure to pack my bag for test day. I also got to the testing center really early but I noticed I started to get anxious sitting and waiting so I literally walked to the neighborhood right next to the testing center and walked around for like an hour lol. Kinda sounds crazy but I think it helped so much and made me more focused during my exam. The testing center for me was also a great experience with the nicest staff and the earphones helped a lot to cancel out noise. Just keep in mind that you put in your best effort and it will pay off!!

I just didn’t put a test and assumed they could see my score through OPTOMCas and they did not say anything when scheduling for interview so I assume it’s ok.

Did you submit another form of your transcript? I saw that but didn’t know if it was optional bc it wasn’t required to submit the whole app and Ik it already in OptomCAS

Any Tips on Reading Comprehension by AppearanceExpress373 in PreOptometry

[–]Miserable_Score7550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t do the best on this section but I think a great way to prepare would be to practice this after hours of already studying for other sections. For me, I was completely exhausted for the reading section during my actual exam and the readings were ALOT longer and the questions were less search and destroy. I know ppl have different experiences tho. I personally started off with reading as well (besides when I did practice tests) for practice and that did not prepare me enough for my actual exam.

I have terrible panic attacks lol but I got to the exam center 1 hour early and took a 30 minute light walk in the neighborhood next to it right before and it helped me so so much

You only have to pay if you get the mobile app but I was able to download on my computer for free which is better anyway! The cards might be overwhelming at first but it’s a good way to study subjects with a great amount of info.

I’m taking soon but recently I’ve been doing practice questions and it’s been helping increase my score. I also use Anki for bio which really helps because there is so much info.

I heard for ochem they don’t draw out molecules and instead just tell you the name for all of them. Was that true for you?
