OAT scores
Started by Nanoosa7
Percentile is different each year. Now since they created the COputerized OAT, I dont know how they did it. 325AA might be approximately eaqual to 70%. 329 is also approximately 70%. 325 cannot be the actual score, cos they dont give out score like that. It should be 330. So is 329Nanoosa7 said:Does anyone know what percentage a 325 AA and a 329 TS is equal to??
Thanks! 🙂
I am not sure about what percentile that is, but those scores are really respectible. If I ended up getting that high, I would be very proud. Where are you trying to get into?Nanoosa7 said:Does anyone know what percentage a 325 AA and a 329 TS is equal to??

I haven't applied yet. I have just started looking into optometry and these were the average scores of the schools I looked at. I'm just trying to get a feel for how well I need to do on the OAT to have a chance at getting in.
So I take it these scores are definitely above average???

Definately... the average is a 300!! I do not think you will have a problem getting in anywhere. At least I should hope not.
I think u must get at least 320 which is considered Okay. Below that isnt a good score.Nanoosa7 said:I haven't applied yet.

I'm sorry, but I totally disagree. This forum is notorious for its high OAT scores, but anyway.... I know many people that have gotten into Optometry schools with a 300. I have been told that if I get a 300, I will get in.
Good for ya, You have to look at ur gpa as well. I am just saying that in gerneral. Of course there are exceptions.PreOptMegs said:I'm sorry, but I totally disagree.

You mean all scores will be rounded to the closest multiples of tens. For examples:
324 -> 320 instead of 330?
326 -> 330

326 -> 330
324 => 330
basically, anything greater than 320 will be bumped up to 330. (They always round up)

Thank you.
They round up to the nearest 10 if the last digit of your score ended in at least a 5
325 -> 330
326 -> 330
They round down if the last digit of your score ended in a number less than 5
324 -> 320
322 -> 320
(
gosh that sounded like a QR problem)
