This has probably been asked many times but the books suggested may be out of date from the time it was posted.
Currently, what specific books should I purchase to study for the OAT?
If possible, provide the authur or ISBN number.

Use the big Kaplan book as review notes. Get OAT/DAT destroyer if possible (Book of many many practice problems that will over prepare you). Also purchase the small OAT kaplan book which has 2 practice tests and some practice sets. The last thing I used was OAT achiever which is a computer program that has 3 practice tests. All this material might be overkill for some people but if you go through all of it and put some effort into learning the material you won't have any regrets come test day.

I used the kaplan review book (which can only be purchased if you take the class or from someone who has taken the class), OAT destroyer, and TopScore and got a 380. I also looked through my old notes from classes I took and through my old textbooks for more details that I couldn't find in the kaplan review book. In the end though, that was pretty uneccessary and I think the Kaplan review book and OAT destroyer were completely sufficient. The TopScore CD was good practice too. The only thing I have to say is, the TopScore's reading comprehension was MUCH easier than the actual, so be forewarned! i was totally caught off guard for that...
