    Question about application process

    So I was wondering when would I start my application on the OptomCas? If I plan to apply for getting into fall of 2019? Does starting an application get deleted when new cycles begin or are they saved to be submitted into the cycle when you're ready?

    Thoughts on OAT destroyer and OAT achiever 2017?

    I have seen a lot of old info circulating these 2 and was wondering if the Achiever on its own will be enough for practice problems?

    Official OAT scores

    Does anyone know how long it takes for offical OAT scores to be sent to schools you selected? I wrote October 7th. I sent unofficial scores to a couple of the schools I applied to, but they said they need official scores to proceed w/ interviews. Thanks

With the limited time I have left, would you guys suggest purchasing OAT Achiever to stimulate more test-like environment or should I continue studying from the OAT destroyer (2nd time over)/Chad's/Kaplan.

    OAT Attempts

    Hi , I'm planning on writing my OAT late August. However, text anxiety is definitely kicking in and making me anxious about it. I'm going to 3rd year and not applying till next summer, would it be best to wait and write it next summer? Do schools care about the number of times you've written it...
