OAT study resources: Free or Cheap!

[eleganteye]

I wanted to include my resources, because it took me forever to get started studying. Please include your free or cheap helpful resources!

All Subjects:
1. Kaplan 09-10 test prep book. Relatively cheap online. Very helpful in guaging how well you're doing!
2. Free Online Kaplan OAT test. It says "Buy It" but it is free. They just want you to register: http://www.kaptest.com/Optometry/Optometry/Apply-to-Optometry-School/Plan/OP_admiss_test.html
3. Free Opted OAT test + tutorial for actual OAT(Step 4 of this page): https://www.ada.org/oat/index.html
4. http://www.testprepreview.com/oat_practice.htm ---Very good! Lots of resources! Use both self-assesment and self-improvement links!
5. This guy has flashcard/module/exam mode for the 4 subjects: http://www.studybarn.com/Members/QuakerOATs/
6. OAT Achiever free trial for 30 days: http://www.3tquest.com/
7. Review chapter summaries because the test is supposed to be conceptual...and who knows? It may improve your reading comprehension!
8. I also used Quickstudy laminated sheets. In my opinion the general gemistry, physics, geometry, and trig ones were the most helpful. They give important formulas and concepts.

Biology:
I don't really need help with Bio, but here's one link to get you started if you do need help with it.

Physics (I got these from another thread)

I haven't used this one, but I think it looks like a good deal. Has anyone tried it? Please let me know. $20 study guide with moneyback guarantee. It even has reading comprehension strategies. I'll let everyone know how it works if I get it: http://www.apexprep.com/oat/

Again, please post your helpful resources! I'm always looking for more!
