So im planning to take the OAT mid January and i only have about 1 month to prepare. I am wondering what would be the best materials to use? I was thinking using Chads videos to review and the kaplan book to practice. Does this sound good or do you recommend something else?
 
Yes, I definitely recommend using Chad's videos and Kaplan for the practice exams. I'm currently studying for the OAT that I'll be taking late December, (actually not really because I'm also studying for microbiology, psychology, cell biology, etc.) I'm definitely planning to do the same thing. Chad's Videos are free, and Kaplan should have some discounts. Make a schedule, and keep us posted!

Thank you and i will keep you posted for sure! Also i was wondering how are you dividing your time between the subjects? Is it a good idea to have a certain time span for each subject or should i study interchangeably? Like should i have a week where i only study gen chem or study both gen chem and orgo throughout the week?

I studied in a month and it’s def doable you’ll just have to put in a lot of hours a day (I studied for 8-10 hours a day but also did take breaks and a couple of break days). I used chads videos for orgo physics and gen chem, dr Romano’s notes for bio, and the destroyer to supplement everything. Also if you can follow a study schedule for each day it might be a good idea to make one !

Honestly, I've been studying weekly on each subjects, but it's not as consistent as I would like. I'm not quite sure, but that's what Kaplan recommends.
