Hello alll, Has anyone taken the "OAT Practice Test 1" from Princeton Review's Cracking the OAT book's online supplemental tools feature? I would like to find out if there is a way to convert my raw score for each section in this test to a scaled score. I cannot find a conversion chart to...

SDN was one of the most helpful resources I used in preparation for the OAT that I took earlier this month, so I wanted to share my experience--I hope what I share is just as helpful! I started with a big KAPLAN 2015 OAT book -- I tried to read chapters that matched what I was learning in...

I've been seeing here and there that one of the schools or multiple want you to have a certain score on the reading comprehension part of the OAT, and that they look at this score closely. Is this a somewhat true statement and do some optometry schools like a high reading comprehension score or...

Hi all, After checking my answer to question 23 in the Kaplan OAT 2016 book's "Reading Comprehension" section, I found that the correct answer to the question was "D". However, in the passage associated with this question, I do not find any place where the author talks about "liberalized...

I'm scheduled to take the OAT in about 2 weeks (June 23rd) but feel very unprepared. I have been studying since classes finished the first week of May but have been busy with work and I'm behind schedule on my study plan. I feel good about biology but have not finished reviewing gen chem...

Hey! So I'll be taking the OAT July 7th. I studied for & took the MCAT last year, so I'm hoping this will be a somewhat similar experience. I'm just beginning my studying, but so far I'm using the Kaplan blue book & looking into purchasing a subscription for Chad's videos. Do you think that...

Hello Pre-Opts! I posted this in the optometry forum, but I figure I would post this here since it should play a factor in your decision about Optometry and its future. [Mods, sorry for the double post, I want to get more opinions.] A friend of mine recently came across an optical shop called...

Hey guys! So here's a little bit of a backstory. I initially was intending to take a year off, but decided to give it a go and apply for 2016. Due to this last minute decision, I only allotted myself 2 weeks to study for the OAT (I know bad idea). I ended up getting a 270 aa and 240 ts. However...

So, I have been reviewing out of my Kaplan test prep book and even though organic compound IDs (i.e.. chlorate, chlorite, hypochlorite) were reviewed, they did not include any sample test questions covering them. I have a review app that does incorporate them, however. Does the OAT cover the...

Hey guys, Have any of you guys had an OAT exam audited? Basically this is what happened: I scored decently on all my subject scores, but then in one subject I got extremely low, so much to the point where I am questioning the validity of the score. Here were my scores: Biology: 370 General...

Hey everyone. I took my first OAT practice test today without studying at all, just to see how I would do. I got a 350 (380 RC, 380 QR, 310 Physics, 330 Orgo, 350 Gen Chem, and 360 Bio). This was a big confidence boost, as I still have almost six months before I actually take the test...

Hey guys! Question, so I'm writing my OAT this week and was wondering how effective Chad's videos were to those of you who mostly used Chad's videos. If I watched them all, studied my notes often, took his quizzes, and also did problems off of online practice tests and used kaplan quizzes/tests...

I'm using optomCAS and it's so confusing. It asks for my self-reported scores but nowhere does it ask for the real thing. I've had my OAT sent but how do I know if they schools have received them?
