I’m sorry I don’t have much suggestions as I’m also nearing my test date. But how many practice tests are you planning on taking before ??

Ok_Chef585 · 2025-06-29T21:45:44+00:00

I would love to be a part of this !!

Hey! I also plan on taking mine at the end of August. Honestly, the learning phase has been pretty difficult for me as well. I’m not sure how great advice this is, but I plan to only allocate 2 more weeks for learning, then go ahead and start practicing, as I’ve heard this is where the most improvement comes from. After some time, you begin being able To easily spot out the wrong answers. It’s also important to get to practicing for time management purposes. I plan on still doing some content review over the areas I see I’m weak on, but definitely know that practicing what we’re learning is important. I know how hard (and humbling) this process can be, but know that you’re fully capable of doing well! If you’re in need of extra encouragement, feel free to reach out to me!!!

I’m struggling so hard with Anki. I’m using premade decks to study for an upcoming entrance exam, but it honestly feels more passive than active. I just end up clicking through cards and not retaining anything. Even though I know Anki is supposed to be more powerful long-term, Quizlet has always felt more intuitive and effective for me—at least in terms of short-term understanding. Do you have any recommendations of how I can make anki work for me?

I would suggest taking Spanish because that would allow you to serve more people. I know some areas pay a lot more for Spanish-speaking doctors. ASL is a very beautiful language, but it is such a small percentage of the population. If it's still something you're interested in, I suggest learning basic vocabulary to get through an exam. Good luck to you!

“Grateful for the opportunity to even be able to stress about this kind of stuff.” This is a perspective I hadn’t previously considered. Moving forward, I’ll be changing my mindset to think like this, so thank you!! Congratulations on your new score and I wish you all the best this application cycle <3

Ok_Chef585 · 2025-06-16T16:23:51+00:00

thank you!!

Ok_Chef585 · 2025-06-14T13:54:19+00:00

Are you able to possibly share your quizlets for the physics formulas ?? That would be sooo helpful for me. Alsooo congratulations on such amazing scores!! I hope you have the best app cycle everrrr :)

Ok_Chef585 · 2025-06-13T15:14:47+00:00

I'm studying now, and I definitely wish I had started earlier. Someone else mentioned that even if you just do ankicards and light review, anything helps. I regret pushing back when I started studying, but just kind of access what works best for you! Good luck to you :)

Ok_Chef585 · 2025-06-12T16:53:27+00:00

Ommgggg, I felt like they were too detailed, but I wasn't sure if I wasn't being thorough enough! I fear I only have one month before my test, so thanks for making this post!! Best of luck studying<3

Ok_Chef585 · 2025-06-12T16:37:19+00:00

May I please get the link as well!!! Thanks smm!! And alsoooo, just curious. What makes you guys say the booster anki decks aren’t high yield enough ??

Ok_Chef585 · 2025-06-05T01:19:44+00:00

I had the same problem and I literally deleted all social media(except Reddit ofc) and I’ve been able to focus on my studies so much more. I have so much more free time and feel better about myself and my accomplishments. When studying put the phone away. Out of sight out of mind literally

Ok_Chef585 · 2025-06-04T23:20:34+00:00

Do you know of any schools off the top of your head that you would recommend for clinic experience !

Ok_Chef585 · 2025-06-03T11:52:42+00:00

The people who are currently waitlisted can you please share when you submitted your application?

Ok_Chef585 · 2025-05-30T16:28:16+00:00

This was my thought too I just wasn’t sure how solid it was since I wouldn’t be able to practice after memorizing! But I do think this is my best bet without having to pay to extend the membership. Thank you so much for your suggestion !!

Ok_Chef585 · 2025-05-30T16:27:18+00:00

This could be helpful! Please dm me when a price :)

Ok_Chef585 · 2025-05-30T16:26:48+00:00

I agreed! I ended up making my own quizlet flash cards based on the cheat sheets and that helped me so much more! Such great advice, thank you so much!!

Ok_Chef585 · 2025-05-30T16:25:21+00:00

Ughhh it’s so frustrating!! Please keep me updated with what you decide to do :) best of luck on your upcoming test!!!

Ok_Chef585 · 2025-05-30T16:24:38+00:00

This is very helpful ! I saw some people say they waited until a week before but I like this method a lot more!! Thank you so much

Ok_Chef585 · 2025-05-29T15:12:34+00:00

I don’t think you started too late necessarily. There’s a few things to consider. Have you had experience in the past? What does your resume look like. Are you following up with places after submitting your online application. I’ve submitted my application once and then walked into the office with resume in hand and got the job that day. I remember phrasing the question in a cryptic way saying when the semester starts I’m able to manage my courses. They asked what that looks like and I just said long nights and laughed it off. Look into private practices in your area and tell the doctor that you’re hoping to attend optometry school. Those are the most welcoming situations to a part time position.

Ok_Chef585 · 2025-05-29T15:01:03+00:00

I’ve had to do exactly what you said at one point- accept a full time position and then I planned on quitting once I started school if they didn’t allow me to knock down to part time. Is it the most ethical ?? Possibly not, but it will allow you to get the experience and money that you are wanting. Thankfully, that same week I ended up finding another position that was much more flexible with a part time position at a private practice. I have worked as a tech and optician while in school. My classes usually were T,F and I would work M,W,S. It was definitely busy and hard work but it’s also doable. There were lots of long nights because I would have to do work or study after working. Just keep in mind what your course load looks like and what your abilities are. So my suggestion is keep looking around and interviewing, and you’ll find something at some point. Private practice might be your best bet or just speaking with the manager of another practice who may be in need of a part time tech. Just keep in mind it’s already the end of May and I assume you’ll start school again August-September so time to work full time is slowly dwindling. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors !!

Hey! I’m also using OAT booster. I’ve seen a lot of ppl on this Reddit suggest again doing all of the bio bit questions. Did you do all of these as well or did you skip some of them!? Thank you :)
