So my current cumulative GPA is a 3.2 and I'm graduating the upcoming spring. I plan on taking a gap year and applying to optometry schools next year so I hopefully start in the fall of 2018. I haven't taken my OAT yet, but given this GPA, what are my chances of being competitive? I believe my...
Hi all!
I've finished applying to optometry schools and today I am making my final decision on an optometry school (exciting!!). I've been searching the past few days for available scholarships for first year students, grants, or loan forgiveness programs. I would love to know if any one has...

I graduated with a Bachelors in biology in May 2016. My GPA is 3.5 (science 3.3, non-science 3.8). I took the OAT last year and did not study at all and was extremely stressed because of certain circumstances and got a disappointing 250. I am an okay test taker but every time I think about this...

Hello!
I was wondering if anyone knew how much optometry schools consider the individual scores of the OAT.
I received a TS and AA of 340 on my OAT. I was pretty well over 300 in all my sections except for Physics where I scored a 270 :( This really concerned me and I was disappointed because I...
Hello Everyone,

Keep in mind that I am a Canadian student with a GPA of 3.13 (there is a strong upward trend).
I haven’t had a lot of shadowing time at an optometrist office but I plan to get at least 30 by...

Hello all,
As you see my account, I tried to go into optometry school few years ago (about 5 years ago?). Due to family/financial issue, I had to pause my dream for a while.

Hey all,
I'm having a lot of trouble working through this physics question from coursesaver, mostly because I don't think the algebra of the solution is quite right:
A 2000kg elevator is connected to a cable. What is the tension in the cable when the elevator is accelerating downward at the...

Hello future optometrists,
Is there anyone out there who would like a study partner/study accountability partner? I need someone to help keep me accountable and on track with my OAT studies, and I will do the same for you! I will encourage you, help you study, and trust me when I say I will...
can someone who recently took the OAT compare kaplans practice tests to the real oat? i am finding their physics sections hard and calculation based, is this an accurate representation of the real test
So I take my OAT in one week and I am absolutely FREAKING out about the orgo section...the way that Kaplan words their questions confuses me so much.
For those of you that have taken it recently, was it mainly reactions? Is it imperative to know the mechanisms?
I've also never done NMR or IR...
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...
Hi! I plan on taking the OAT at the end of august and was wondering if anyone was selling 2016 Kaplan material and possibly still have access that i can purchase from them.
Hi everyone,
I've been studying sporadically this past semester and everyday for the past month and I've finally gotten around to taking 2 practice tests. My scores weren't as high as I'd hoped :/ I was just hoping to get an insight from other people as to how my practice scores will compare...
