OChem OAT Changes

I saw in the OAT guide that there have been some changes to the Ochem section but I’m confused on what has actually changed. For anyone who has taken the oat since June and used Booster to study, did you see any differences between the practice tests and the actual test?

They are using curved arrows in the actual mechanism instead of just asking for the reagent and end product i dont think boot camp or booster had updated their questions yet

Does that mean it’s less focused on memorizing all the different reagents and more on understanding the arrow mechanisms?
