How long to study for the OAT

[deleted878916]

I'm planning on going back to my college in August and shutting myself away from family and friends for about 3 weeks before classes started. I would spend a certain amount of time on each section, depending on my comfortability with each subject.

So would 4 weeks be enough for me to study everything? I know people say they studied for more than 3 months but I can't imagine spending that much time studying for an exam. I would probably end up forgetting everything I studied from the first month! I'm good at cramming everything into my brain and studying for a long period of time.

Also, I'm taking physics this summer as a review so that should stick in my brain more easily.

So a total of 4 weeks (3 intensive weeks of studying/memorizing) and one week of review, then take the test. Is that possible?

Anything is possible, it all depends on how well you know yourself when it comes to studying for an exam like this.
This is not a regular exam it is very intense, it is timed and very stressful.
I would advise to at least give yourself more time. Trust me you don't forget what you first learn. Try taking a full length practice test. That will give you a good ball park as to how much you know, how much you don't and how long you should study for.
