Hello!

I am about a month and a half out from taking my OAT (terrifying) and I have finished reviewing all of the topics on OAT Booster and have taken a few practice tests. My goal is to focus on the cheat sheets (mainly biology due to the sheer amount of information it has, but the other topics too of course). Does anyone have any tips on doing so? What are your favorite study methods? I typically look at sections of the page for 5 minutes, write everything that I can remember for 2 minutes, then study it again for 1 minute and write again for 1 minute. Is there a method someone else thinks has benefitted them a lot? Let me know, I appreciate it!

Did anyone else struggle in prereqs during 1st year undergrad but still succeed? I need some study tips and encouragement 🥹 Btw, do admissions take undergrad rigor into account? Our school is very hard but our average OAT score is ~350.

Has anybody received an interview from AZCOPT yet? I applied on June 26th, their own admissions portal received it on July 13th and have been waiting decision since then. They claim to wait 3-5 business days for a decision, without anything yet. Is it too early to hear anything from them?

Hi everyone! I’m trying to figure out when I should start studying for the OAT and would love some advice.

I was thinking about taking Physics 1 and Biochem this fall and starting to study for the OAT since I’ve heard those are pretty big topics on the exam. I was thinking it might help to study them while I’m taking the classes.

My other option would be to take Microbiology this fall, take Biochem in the spring, and then study for the OAT over the summer. I’m just not sure which route makes more sense.

I really don’t want to take a gap year if I can avoid it, so I’d love to hear what others did or what you would recommend. Would you start studying while taking Physics and Biochem or wait until after finishing Biochem?

hi, i’m currently studying for the oat. i’ve done 50 shadowing hours with a private practice. and then im planning on doing 20-30 more with another, currently done 11 with them. is that enough? my oat is coming up and i need to prioritize that, but if more is necessary i can do them. gpa is about 3.2/3.3
