Hello! 😀hehe i'm quite the newbie in posting stuff here.. though i have read alooot of topics. you guys are all so helpful!! 👍

anyways.. I was wondering if ochem 1 & 2 are necessary/beneficial in taking the OAT~
I'm taking one sem. worth of ochem right now in the summer (5 weeks session), but I'm also registered for the 2nd semester (5 wk session) of ochem . The schools I want to apply to only require 1 sem. worth of ochem, but if both semesters is gona help me for the OAT i'm thinking of taking it~

haha sorry long question short. 1 semester of ochem knowledge enough? do u recommend that I just finish up the 2nd semester this summer? THANK YOU!! 😀

*oh and also. i'm going to be a junior undergrad student in the fall. and I'm planning on taking both semesters worth of ochem in the summer (5 week ochem a which has just begun, 5 week ochem b.. yikes!).. and just reading all the topics in the forum's getting me quiiite anxious about the OATs since i'm not that great of a test taker even if my grades are alright. i kinda wanna buy one of them books and study here & there early.. do you advise me to start studying with a Kaplan/Princeton Review/etc OAT book? cuz don't they come out with new editions every year- should i wait? hehe thanks for all the input you guys~ God bless!

I think it would be better if you took both classes of organic chemistry before taking the OAT. If I recall correctly, there was material from the second semester. Plus it's always better to know more than you need to anyway. Hope this helps.

You definitely need to know 2nd semester ochem material for the OAT.
