I've been studying for the MCATs the past three months and have taken so far AAMC test 3,4,5...with my scores being around 9 in physic/inorgo, 6 in verbal, and 9 in bio/orgo. So a total of a 24. I currently have a 3.5 GPA.

Since my MCAT score has no chance to make it to medical school, i thought i would try the OAT, since i have thoroughly studied all the science/reading sections. Judging from my MCAT scores do you think I have a chance to do very well on the OATs?

i would say NO..., based on my experience. Though both covers the same topics, the examinations are very diffferent. i prepared for the OAT with kaplan materials and tried all the AAMC tests because my cousin is using that as preparation for the MCAT. i did quite well around the scores you quoted. When i took the OAT, it was quite different and i saw it tougher than i had expected. AAMC questions are set based on different exam expectations and OAT questions also has a different "agenda". In all i mean doing well on the AAMC does not guarantee your success in the OAT. i tried it and it failed!!👎
i would advise you try practice tests on the OAT. I hope this help! all the best!!😎
