So I'm planning on writing it during the Summer of my third year of Undergraduate Studies.
I'm justing wondering what the "norm" was.
Thanks.

I'd say either plan to either write once or twice. But for either you choose, make sure you are prepared by the date you set. I wrote my first time in late summer, got 330 TS AA which I thought was low (It actually isn't). So I wrote a second time to make myself more competitive. But generally the earlier the better.
I'd plan to take it directly after taking Physics II, Organic II, and Chem II.
wait... organic II???
this is not a pre-req... but it's covered on the OAT?

I think only a portion of Ochem II is on there. I didn't see much of sample analysis and lab techniques. But aromatics and reactions involving them were definitely tested. Don't quote me on this! Refer to the ADA's OAT manual https://www.ada.org/oat/oat_examinee_guide.pdf .
I had to fulfill Ochem II because it was mandatory to graduate. Personally, I felt that the whole series helped prepare me well for the OATs.

you can get by without taking ochem II, but if you have ochem II, it'll help a TON on the test. Ochem isn't required for the oat, but i HIGHLY suggest taking it. I remember there being at LEAST 1/3 of my test questions being ochem II stuff.
I'm not familiar with this Organic chem II? is this a standard in US? I've only taken 1 semester of organic chem and the OAT questions that I had were never out of the scope of that one semester of organic chem I took.
Yes, every school i've heard of have a full year of orgo.
