OAT- reading comprehension?

[Sevy345]

If anyone took the the 2018 OAT, were there any questions with calculations in the reading comprehension section? I've mostly been practicing with DAT bootcamp (since I heard DAT is almost identical to the OAT with exception of one section) and there weren't any questions like that except maybe 1 easy one per test. But then I started doing OAT Achiever which had a whole passage literally filled with calculations and that totally threw me off. How representative is the OAT achiever RC to the real thing?

I didn't have any calculations on my OAT for the reading comprehension and didn't hear anyone have any of that too. I didn't use the OAT achiever but the actual OAT I remember was a bit easier than what I was expecting. Questions were basically given in order with the passages.

Oh I see, thank you! Yea that definitely sounds a lot easier

My suggestion is to go to this link and purchase the reading comprehension section. It's very similar to the real thing and really helped me prepare Test Preparation

I took the OAT 4 days ago and did not have any calculations! I can definitely say that DAT Bootcamp is very representative of the reading sections as well as Kaplan. Just make sure you time yourself and practice highlighting! Made a huge difference for me on test day.
