Which way to tackle studying?

[mlongo1]

Hey there...

I was wondering what people think would be a better way to study:

1) Use the Kaplan OAT book....use it to refresh memory and go back to old texts to review weaknesses.

2) Use that list of somewhat specific/somewhat broad topics covered on the oat (released by the test makers) and study on my own.

The 2nd one would definitely take more time...and I don't have that much time to study. What worked for everyone?

I am currently taking a Kaplan OAT course, and though it is crazy fast-paced..the book is very good in explaining details. I would study from that book and take as many practice tests as you can. Maybe even test yourself using Topscore Pro OAT or OAT Professor.

Good Luck.
