^^ Wish I did better in physics but I can't complain. It feels great to be done though!

To prep I read through the Kaplan OAT book (the big one), used OAT Destroyer, and took notes on a lot of the questions in OAT Destroyer.

People don't lie when they say the actual OAT questions are easier than Destroyer, Kaplan, and Achiever. :] :]

Good luck to everyone else who's studying to take it!

Well done!

If you have a GPA of at least 3.5 and have strong interview skills, there's no doubt you will have your choice of optometry school. Congratulations.

I think the destroyer is FAR better than Kaplan exams. I was really pressed for time and rushed through OAT destroyer in a week (I didn't do the QR section though), and from doing that alone I learned a lot more than from reviewing over Kaplan. As everyone else will tell you, OAT Destroyer over prepares you, but I highly recommend it.

Is the OAT destroyer one book with exams for all the subjects??? Cause I never really heard of it!

It's not necessarily exams but an ample amount of intermediate to difficult practice problems. There are ~190 GC, ~190 OC, ~325 BIO, ~150 Physics, ~180 QR, all with detailed explanations.
