This, as well as other study guides, should be available through your college bookstore or other national bookstores. Of course, you can also check the web for other suggested study aids. You may also want to review your notes and other materials from the General Chemistry, Physics and Biology courses you have completed. The test covers the basic principles you may not have seen for a few years. Keep in mind that the OAT is a timed test.
Various sections are long and difficult to complete during the limited time available.
This allows for a second opportunity to complete the test if the October scores were not as high as you would like, or if extenuating circumstances existed that inhibited your performance. Waiting until February to complete the test for the first attempt is not advisable. This could accelerate the processing of your application for the next year and still allow you the chance to retake the OAT if needed. When an applicant takes the OAT more than once, we only use the higher test score. There are no penalties.
