Does anyone know how to do this? There were two courses specifically (Physiology and Anatomy) that I plan to take in the future, depending on if the school I get accepted to requires those courses. How would I add this to my application? Thanks!

I was reading posts from earlier this year in both the dental and optometry forums and people claim to have come across geometry/trig on their exam, despite ADA saying they removed it. But when I read later posts like from this summer, people say they didn't come across any. For those of you...

I live in So-flo and my university closed until further notice due to Irma. So, I'm happy about that lol Then, it hits me "what if a storm comes around next summer and hits on the day I take the OAT" because I'm just so unlucky with exam days (had car accidents, hospital visits, another storm in...

Hey guys! I figured I'll start a thread for those of us applying to IAUPR this cycle:) Applying to grad schools can be hella stressful but hopefully we can help each other out through the process:)

Hey guy! So I retook some classes to help my GPA, but I'm a little worried that it will be a red flag and not even get me an interview:( My GPA is around 3.0 for both overall and science (including the retakes). Is there anyone here that is in a similar situation? Or anyone who received...

Hey guys! So I came across an OAT study guide that I found online and it said that some schools weigh the OAT more heavily than GPA. I understand that all aspects of an application is important but I was just curious since I'm going to be applying this cycle. Do you guys know any schools that...

Hi everyone, I've been a casual observer for a while. However I am stuck in a dilemma and so I made this account to seek for advice. Tomorrow marks the first day of my senior year as an undergrad. My target is to apply to the College of Optometry of the University of Houston for this current...

After reading other threads and FAQs I am still very confused about the OAT portion of my application, and the people at OptomCAS have left me hanging for a long time as well. I took my OAT last year and chose 5 schools to send the scores to. Two schools I am applying to now were not a part of...

Hi all! Quick question: is Young's double split experiment stuff on the exam? The physics section in the Kaplan 2016 prep book barely had one paragraph on it, and didn't talk about any equations like dsin(theta)=m(wavelength) Thanks!

I am 2 weeks away from taking my OAT. I have been using chad's videos and OAT destroyer. I took a practice OAT test using TOP SCORE to see where I stand. my results: BIO 260/ OCHEM 350/ GCHEM 320/ RC 320/ PHY 250 / QR 300 I did poorly in the bio and physics section. I am trying to understand...

I'm taking my OAT in the middle of September, but was going to submit my OptomCAS after taking the exam. So hopefully by the end of September, everything will be turned in. Is this too late? I feel like I'm a bit behind compared to everyone else

Hi everyone, So I'm taking my OAT exam in 5 weeks, and have been primarily using Chad's videos/quizzes, the fat Kaplan Strategies book, and Kaplan MCAT Biology review for preparation. I had three questions regarding to preparation: 1. Does anyone know how Chad's questions compare to the real...

Hi all, I just took my OAT this afternoon and I did not score what I was hoping for. My scores were AA: 300 TS: 290. Looking back on it, I thought the test went fairly well, but I was a tad disappointed to see that I scored a 290 in Biology and a 260 in Physics, while scoring a 300 or higher...

Hi, I'm a rising Junior and I am starting the preparation for OAT. Some have told me that there's a slight correction between people who performed well in the SAT/ACT and people who performed well with the OAT. I want to see if anyone who did well on the OAT also did well when they took the...

Hi! I am currently studying for the OAT. If I am not mistaken, in the QR section, they give you an on screen calculator that has very limited functions. Does this mean that we have to memorize odd trig functions such as sin(57) or tan^-1(5/3)? Thanks!

Hey guys! Taking my OAT for the first time in September... SO nervous. Currently enrolled in a Kaplan online course, and have been using Chads vids as supplementary material. I haven't really been able to get a good gauge on what/which equations for physics are the ones I need to be focussing on...

I just took the OAT and did worse than I expected. I scored a 310 TS and 310 AA with zero sections below 300. My cGPA is around a 3.45, sGPA 3.1. I have pretty good extracurricular activities including many different clubs/organizations (some of which I have held leadership positions), 100 hours...

Hi , I'm planning on writing my OAT late August. However, text anxiety is definitely kicking in and making me anxious about it. I'm going to 3rd year and not applying till next summer, would it be best to wait and write it next summer? Do schools care about the number of times you've written it...

Hi all, I am in the process of applying in the next cycle of admissions and noticed a question in one of the applications and it asks what other schools I'm applying to. Is there any impact on my chances in getting into that school if I'm applying to 8? The reason is due to my cumulative gpa...

Hey you guys! This is my first post in the forum. I am planning to apply for the upcoming 2017-2018 application cycle that opens this week, and I took my OAT today. The results I got back were a little lower than expected, and I'm having a tough time with it. I've been studying for about 3...

Questions to those who have taken the OAT with the new feature that allow you to highlight words. This is regarding the RC section. Does the highlighting continue to be there once you move on to the next questions, or does it disappear? The highlight in Kaplan practice tests continue to be...

I saw some similar threads posting about their experience with Kaplan as well as the difficulty comparison between the Kaplan practice tests and the real OAT. I took my OAT today and I was very happy with my scores. I thought that the live online Kaplan course adequately prepared me for the...

Is interference tested on the physics portion of the OAT? Things like the double slit, single single slit, diffraction grating, and thin films? Thanks!

I just graduated from UCSD and have a 3.34 GPA and plan on taking the OAT sometime in August. I know this GPA is on the lower side but I'm hoping that my extracurriculars help ease the burden. I've had the same job on campus (not related to optometry) since I was a freshman and worked on average...

I'm planning on taking the OAT around the middle of July, allowing myself 7 weeks to study for it. I'm only working a few hours a week in order to be able to spend most of my time studying. Assuming I study around 4-6 hours per day and give myself weekends off, will it be possible to thoroughly...

I recently graduated with a bachelors of biology with a 3.5 accumulative GPA. I am working at an optometry clinic for 3 years now and I am currently doing vision therapy training. I took a gap year to work in the field and apply for school but I applied so late due to curtain circumstances. So I...

Hello everyone! I am planning on taking the OAT this summer and I am looking for some advice. Should I study using the OAT destroyer/other prep books first and then take the Kaplan online course? Or the other way around? Or do you think it does not matter? Thanks in advance!

Hey Everyone, I am writing my OAT in July and I want to be really prepared for this test. It's basically do or die for me. I was hoping if anyone has the OAT destroyer books and they are willing to sell it I would really appreciate it. I was on the OAT destroyer website and was gonna buy the...

Hi! I'm looking for some opinions from people who may have been in a similar position, or would just like to give their input. I was invited for an interview and accepted at PCO prior to taking my OAT. I didn't do as well as I'd hoped on the test due to unfortunate circumstances, and they asked...

I would really like to hear your brutally honest opinions. I have been pondering this for months already if I should apply for the fall 2017 at NOVA. I have confirmed with them that they are still considering candidates for interviews until the end of april. I have not taken the OAT's yet and...
