Hello, I needed some advice on what date I should schedule my exam. I've been studying for the past 2 months since i was taking a biochem course earlier in the summer and feel that I am not as prepared for the exam as i should be (which is in 3 days!) I'm looking to reschedule my exam and am just about complete with my Optomcas application and want to send it in by mid-sept.

Would scheduling my exam for Sept. 21st be really delaying me? I know the application cycle ends in March but ive heard it takes 3-4 weeks for scores to be received by Optomcas and now im getting very paranoid that I will be having everything done too late in the cycle. Somebody please help!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!! 😕

when do you guys suggest i should be taking the exam?!?!

I scheduled my exam for OCT 1st. I think you will be fine if you Schedule it for Sept 21st
 
hoops123, have you already submitted your application though? If so, does it affect you at all that you've submitted without your oat scores? The thing im most apprehensive about is sending in apps to schools without an oat score.

I got an interview invite from one but the rest are still 'processing' and im still working on some of the supplemental apps .. I would not worry too much about submitting without OAT scores.
