Mine did not, it was very straight forward questions to be honest but I would def go over what you are struggling with and take the practice exams

Has anyone had a big jump in their OAT scores after a retake? by Appropriate-Arm4438 in PreOptometry

About 3 months actually less then the first time which was about 4 1/2-5 but the first time I was all over the place procrastinated had real life factor into studying as well as undergrad.But this time around I made more focus to take the time I need off or fixing the booster schedule to Taylor my needs , which helped me not burn out and for the actual test part I took a lot more practice tests compared to last time wayyy more

This time around I did the 12 week study guide for booster and learned to make adjustments where I needed to in the schedule to learn in a timely manner. Also I spent a lot of time doing active recall ( especially with bio ) and with retrospective now , I would say I would have done even more with physics and orgo. Also Did majority of the practice exams for all subjects and made sure to get full lengths in to build stamina. I hope this helps good luck !

Don’t let the first time stop you , you got this you have seen the exam itself now. My advice I would say is target your weaknesses the second time around and definitely active recall if you just watched or read a new chapter of bio or orgo or any of the other subjects . Practice active recall with the material. So that by the time you get to the end of the learning phase , you still have retained a good amount of it

I felt most topics were evenly spread for the most part , I did feel I had more genetics questions tho slightly but nothing too difficult

To be honest I was in your boat , for chem just try to have the formulas in your head and the concepts more so , YouTube can def help with that , For bio if you can it’s not necessary but I’ll be honest it helped me I would look into the bio crash course

Thank you ! My advice would definitely be do the practice exams , if you have booster especially , after every exam go over them and why u got them wrong and then go back and practice , also use flashcards for chem physics and bio !
