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. I have been working right after I took my first/last OAT. Some stuffs happened during the time I was studying for OAT so...

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...

I read several of these while prepping for my OAT exam and figured I'd pay the community back with my experience and hopefully it could help at least one fellow pre-optometry student out there! Just finished taking the OAT earlier today and studied for about a month? I basically hardcore...

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...

Hey Everyone, I am looking for the OAT destroyers if there are any for sale? Thank you!

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...

What classes should I be taking for the OAT? I do not have room in my schedule to take many higher level biology or chemistry classes and just wanted to know what would would be most helpful for the OAT. Do I need Genetics or Cell Biology? What about Orgo 2 or Biochemistry? PLEASE HELP ME...

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...

Hi everyone, I'm a post-bacc student and I'm planning to take the OAT in late June/early July and get my applications in soon after. Following the spring 2016 semester, I'll still need to take Anatomy, Physio, Biochem, and Micro. I'm wondering if it would be smart for me to skip taking summer...
