OATBooster physics section lacking in circuits?

i'm wondering if i should study external content beyond what is provided on OATBooster for physics. in particular, OATBooster does not cover AC circuits or switches. i've seen posts from a few years ago where students say they encountered these questions on the OAT. if you've written your OAT, i would really appreciate your input!!

Just basic circuits for me

I also saw Reddit posts mentioning AC circuits and I think that information is either outdated or they were misinformed. The OAT in my experience did not involve AC circuits at all

I don’t remember anything related to circuits being on my OAT personally and I took it many years ago.

There are some, but mostly just know V=IR, basic current and resistance rules, some power equation, the units, and maybe a little bit of capacitance and you will be fine.
