why dont you check out an an oat book. look up thte sectinos, and relate them to the courses at your uni? take initiative!

Ya, im sure that everyone else on the forum is asking a question that has never been asked before. You're either on here to help or to learn, so take part in one of those, you don't have to be a jerk about it. I'm just going to be a freshman in university this year and i just wanted to be sure im on track with the classes i chose, so excuse me if i dont go and buy a oat book right now.

But if you have to bring down others online, your life is really messed up; this is the one place you can exert some 'force' without receiving any blows back. Go see a psychologist.

lets see u in 4 years. if you cant take initiative good luck surviving. im not saying everyone has never asked a question that hasnt been asked before. Im saying that people ask questions that require opinions (ie when should I take the OAT?, when should I apply?, what's considered a good score?) , not questions (mostly) that require research. go check the prereqs.

Bio, gen chem, organic chem, physics. There is also a reading comprehension section and quantitative reasoning section, which has some trig - i would suggest taking calculus since you have to as a prereq for most schools anyways.

Instead of going out and buying an OAT book, go to opted.org or search the optometry schools' websites for the pre-requisites for their program. The science classes that are required are generally the ones tested on the OAT.

Don't forget psychology and statistics...many schools need those as well

There are many human anatomy and some physiology questions on the OAT as well.
