According to the ADA 2018 guide, I was looking at the physics section for scope of test and noticed some missing subjects such as Quantum physics, Gases, and Magnetism. Has anyone taken it and come across any questions on these subjects or are they completely omitted? Just want to check cause I would rather not spend extra time on these more difficult concepts anyways. Thank you!

I didn't see any quantum physics, gases or magnetism on mine. Looking at your screenshot I did see all of those topics on my exam. I had many questions on force and energy. The only one on there that I don't remember having was thermal energy and thermodynamics although I'm sure if it's on their guide it could show up. I also had many conceptual questions. About half were conceptual/word questions with no numbers and the other half used basic numbers with common formulas.

Use OAT destroyer for physics. My score went up in this section 40 points between first and second OAT take. Seriously was worth every penny and covered the basics. OAT Achiever was harder in physics but I think it prepares you well. It covers all the bases and you should have no problem taking the physics section if you use these.

Please keep in mind that topics in quantum physics can also be classified as being in general chemistry and sometimes in organic chemistry. For example, Bohr's atom, the 4 quantum numbers, molecular orbitals, absorption of infrared light by a molecule....
