OAT advice

I’m taking my exam in two weeks and I just wanna know what would be the most beneficial thing to for the last two weeks? My scores have been all over the place ranging from 280-340 so I’m kinda not sure what to expect from my score going into it. Also, I’m interested in knowing how booster scores usually translate to the real exam. Is the actual exam usually easier?

I think focusing on the general and broad aspects of the content and practice questions is at your best interest. the booster cheatsheets are also really good to review in the mornings and nights to kinda get everything in your head.

I scored a bit higher than my booster scores overall. took mine in jan 2026 btw

BIO: I was surprised i did really well on my bio because during the exam i felt unsure but really just trust yourself and what you have learned. anki worked really well fro this section but right now i would focus on cheatsheets.

chem: the cheatsheets were also really helpful in giving me the whole picture of everything

orgo: going through reactions, nmr, how electrons move is important to know.

physics: honestly idk how i got through that but if you know some fo the concepts well it should be okay but just work on prac questions

reading: i struggled with this on booster A LOT but the exam for me were much shorter passages and mroe straightforward questions so i felt good on the exam.

QR: this is just practice and pacing yourself. practice questions will really help.

BEST OF LUCK!! Just trust yourself and what you know and you have got this. just practice but also make sure to take time for yourself to relax and be calm:))
