You can take the OAT whenever you want (whenever there is a spot open at a testing center). They offer tests 5 days a week. Once you take it, you have to wait 90 days to take it again. You can take it as many times as you want, but ALL scores are submitted to schools (you can't pick which set goes). Admissions offices will start to question you if you take it more than 2 times. You are much better off doing a free Kaplan practice test rather than taking the official one over and over, since the Kaplan ones are not reported to Opt schools obviously. If you pay for the course, you get 5 full-length practice tests. That's what I did and only ended up taking the official OAT once, since I knew what to expect going into it. I did push my test date back once because I didn't feel ready for it and didn't want to have to retest.
