Okay so I really need some guidance!!! I've taken the OAT once already and i did not do well at all!!! Since then I have been working and havent had much time to study but now is the time! For the last couple of weeks I have been all over the place with the different materials and I just feel like I'm getting nowhere! I have the crack the oat software and several books from the library but I just can get a good grip! Any suggestions?! I have devoted the next two months to studying...do you guys think this will be enough time? I've thought about chads videos but will I even put a dent in them in 2 months? What do you guys think about the Kaplan courses? Are they worth the money? I know I'm asking a lot of questions but I just feel so lost in my study habits so any help will be highly appreciated! Thanks!!

I advise you against taking the Kaplan course. I've heard bad things about it from other people, in terms of not so good instructors. However, some have said it's good to meet other people that you can usually study with, but I don't think it's worth it for that. I'm sure you can find other people to study if that's what you're looking for.

If you can get used copy of kaplan or princeton review course books - it could be MCAT books as well. I have both kaplan and princeton review MCAT books, and I really think princeton review is better because it can explain concepts really well.

There's also khanacademy.org that you can use to go over some topics. It's a great resource and it's free!

In terms of OAT specific practice tests, I'm using the oat achiever and ioatprep software. Both are great. I haven't looked into crack the oat.

I wish you the best!
