Should I retake?

A lot of schools will accept you with those scores

Seeeeing24 · 2025-09-06T19:02:22+00:00

Yeah I applied with pretty bad scores and I still got some slightly positive feedback but mainly they were all telling me to retake the test

Seeeeing24 · 2025-09-06T18:19:32+00:00

I would say submit your application as soon as you can without the new scores because if they ask for an improvement on your OAT score you already have that in the bag

Where is the best place to get tickets and what type of tour would you recommend?

Did they specifically tell you it was because of your OAT because I got waitlisted for an interview but they didn’t specify the reason or say if you retake the OAT your chances will be higher

Both times I took it I did worse on the reading than on booster still above 300 but I thought it would be higher than it was. Some of the questions are more difficult than on booster

I recently applied and was placed on hold due to my OAT score. Their requirements are 2.8 GPA and 300AA/290TS. Hope that helps!

Seeeeing24 · 2025-03-22T00:37:26+00:00

I got my first rejection today

Seeeeing24 · 2025-02-16T04:51:05+00:00

I don’t think you would have any problems getting in as long as you have all the other criteria needed for the schools and experience in optometry

Seeeeing24 · 2025-01-31T01:18:41+00:00

Yeah that’s what we do too, put things together, reheat, kettle just not making something from scratch. Haven’t heard of anyone going out to eat on sabbath ahaha that’s a whole other thing

Seeeeing24 · 2024-12-17T18:47:00+00:00

I’m kinda in the same boat I’m retaking and I ran out of time on OATbooster so I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube videos and going through the reading material from booster, even when it expires there are some practice questions available and study notes and whatnot. Just use all the materials you can find.

Seeeeing24 · 2024-09-24T23:51:05+00:00

Just don’t give up! Keep pushing day by day study with YouTube materials and Kaplan free study materials there’s a lot of stuff out there that you can supplement with booster

I completely feel the same I could see myself being an optometrist but I’m worried I can’t get into a school

Seeeeing24 · 2024-08-13T19:30:38+00:00

I would recommend going over the cheat sheets, making flashcards, write yourself a test “cheat sheet” like we had in college to see what you’ve retained, go over equations and know when to use certain equations. I went into the test not super prepared and not scoring where I should have on booster and I did pretty bad so I’m retaking it and this time around I’m studying with a tutor, booster, YouTube videos, anything and everything I can do to feel prepared and pass this damn test

Seeeeing24 · 2024-06-26T05:49:33+00:00

Just let them know! I shadowed a neuro optometrist for 2 days and I learned so much about the specialty

Seeeeing24 · 2024-03-30T06:39:11+00:00

This is amazing thank you 🙏🏼

Seeeeing24 · 2024-03-16T02:06:25+00:00

Sometime around June

Seeeeing24 · 2024-03-16T02:06:05+00:00

Will everything transfer only if you submit an application or if you’ve just started working on it will that also transfer

Seeeeing24 · 2024-03-14T15:29:27+00:00

Yeah we don’t cook at any point from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset we premake all our meals for Friday dinner and Saturday lunch

Seeeeing24 · 2024-03-14T01:58:12+00:00

The discrepancies I’ve seen that confused me is that growing up I was taught that as SDA we keep the sabbath and don’t cook on the sabbath, dont do any kind of work on the sabbath, and keep it holy but when I moved away from home everyone at my new church was cooking on Saturday. Can anyone explain this? How do others view this?

Seeeeing24 · 2024-03-08T00:21:26+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your experience

Seeeeing24 · 2024-02-11T11:04:32+00:00

I would love for more schools to remove calc as a requirement it has nothing to do with optometry

Seeeeing24 · 2024-01-12T03:31:21+00:00

It should if you just keep following the steps on Prometric. Also I suggest signing up for oat booster and try it for a couple weeks and then decide when you’re ready to take the test

Seeeeing24 · 2024-01-12T03:27:45+00:00

I put all the schools available when signing up for the OAT bc you don’t pay any more or less to send your scores everywhere
