I wasn't a science major and just started taking some science classes (Chem I & II, OChem I, Biology I & II, and Physics I). I wanted to take the test early because I believed that I could come up with decent scores and wanted to apply early. What do you guys think about the scores? Would I get interviews with UHCO, UIW, ICO, or Midwestern? Replies good or bad is much appreciated. Thanks

those look like descent scores to me, great job on the QR! What's your secret? I don't know about the particular universities though...good luck!

My secret was to like math growing up 🙂 It was actually not that hard off the basics of algebra, trigonometry, and elementary functions. I would have to say the only thing would be to know how to pace yourself. I almost ran out of time with like 8 questions left and 3 minutes to do them. But some questions are pretty easy and some are a little more time consuming if you don't know/forget the concept. Don't stay focused on one question too long as it's only 1 question when you can get the next couple questions easily.

thanks for the reply, I have mine tomorrow...I'll try to keep the pacing bit in mind...i always waste time on the hard ones.

You know what's odd? On all practice tests (Kaplan 09-10, OAT achiever, TOP Score OAT, OPTED) I've been consistently scoring 300-330 on all sections, but when I took the real OAT yesterday, I earned 380-400 in all sections. I guess the practice test materials/scoring isn't really representative of the real test.

wow congrats on your scores! I think you're right about the practice tests.
