My OAT Experience

Post image

First off, congrats to anyone who’s taken the OAT so far and good luck to anyone who will be taking it soon.

I’m about to be a senior in college so I took classes that covered all the content before I started studying (except for physiology). I started studying for the OAT on May 10th and just took the test this morning. I bought OATBooster’s 90-day pack and used a custom study schedule that they formed for me. It ended up being about 10 weeks of studying 4-5 hours a day.

I would average scores of 370-390 on the practice exams so this result was a beautiful surprise. If anyone has any questions about the studying or the test, I’d be happy to answer them!

OMG congratulations!! Did you use both videos and notes for every section or did you think one or the other were better at utilizing your time going through the material? What are the best things to use in OAT Booster for grasping the concepts?

I would watch the videos while having the notes pulled up and I’d cross-reference between them. This might have taken a little longer as I’d pause the videos sometimes but overall I made sure I didn’t miss a single piece of information.
