Hey everyone,
I took my OAT today and it did not go well at all.
Scores:
Bio - 300
Gen Chem - 310
OChem - 250
RC - 320
QR - 210
Phys - 250
As you can see three of the sections were decent enough, but the other three are awful QR being embarrassing beyond words and Ochem and phys being sub-par. However, I will be (as soon as I can) retaking to up those. I am applying to 19 schools but am hesitant to submit my application with such atrocious scores. I have 35+ hours of shadowing six different doctors (2 ophthalmologists), 100 hrs of volunteer work and am currently working full time as well as going to school full time. Should I still submit or wait until I can retake?
As for the scores, I spent more time studying gen chem and bio than the others (RC is a moderately easy subject for me) I have used chads videos to relearn organic and physics (I'm a non trad student, and got a B+ in Orgo 1 and 2 and B+ in physics 1 and 2 as well) I am unsure of how to improve my scores aside from watching Chad's videos and doing the quizzes. I also am sub'd to course saver, and have the big purple Kaplan book from 17-18. I've read people liked OAT destroyer and cracking the OAT. Does anyone have any helpful advice or books/questions I can purchase to help get my low scores (at a minimum) over 300? Or any advice on study habits, I took the exam from 1-5pm. and work from 4-midnight 5 days a week and usually study during that time and in between classes during the day. I have a pdf of Feralis Bio notes which seem organized and quite helpful. I have printed off Chad's outlines for OChem, Physics and Gen Chem as well.
