Retake OAT..

[kln16]

Hello, I have already taken my OAT and scored quite low. I am planning on submitting my application by November and retaking the OAT end of December/ January. Do I have to let the schools I’m applying to know that I plan on retaking? Is there a place on OptomCAS to put that or will the schools contact me beforehand if they want to interview me? Any information helps! TIA

I think there's a section on OptomCAS (the OAT section?) that lets you put another date (that can be in the future). This shows the school that you are planning on retaking it. Perhaps also include it in your personal statement? I'm sure if you can reflect on it and say what you're doing to improve would be beneficial.
