Are my OAT study materials OK?

To avoid spending over $1,000 on a Kaplan course, I've looked around this forum and have decided to buy a few things. Here's what I'm thinking:

- Kaplan OAT 2007-2008 Edition

- Kaplan MCAT 2007-2008 Premier Program

- TopScore Pro for the OAT


Is this good enough? I already have several bio and chem textbooks...


Is this too much or a bad idea?


Should I get Achiever and/or Destroyer?



I'd really appreciate any help - thanks!

Oh I think it's more than enough.
I only studied with Kaplan MCAT review book
and did a couple of Kaplan OAT sample tests.
(To be honest, Kaplan was wayyyy harder than OAT for no reason at all; I panicked just before i wrote my OAT cuz i couldnt do most of th problems in Kaplan tests; However, I just wrote my OAT, and I got 360 !! )
Don't worry too much about OAT. If you took sciences courses in university, it's nothing to worry about!

You have enough. Quit worrying whether you have enough study guides and get into the books. I used four textbooks to study...Bio, Ochem, Gchem, and Physics and some practice OAT tests. Just sit and learn (or relearn) the material and you will be fine.

I really liked OAT achiever...the tests are difficult but have some good concepts that the real OAT integrates. I used that along with the Kaplan OAT review book and MCAT review book, which was enough for me. It helps if you've taken classes on the different topics (GChem, OChem) and review your notes.
