Restudying for the OAT

Hi everyone!

After taking ~3 weeks to rest and figure out my life a little, I'm ready to start restudying for the OAT. In my first attempt, I received a 300 AA and 280 TS — kinda sucks after studying for 3 months, but what can I do now? lol

I was wondering to anyone who has retaken: How did you get back into studying? Did you use the same materials/resources? I want to use OATbooster again, but I exhausted the practice tests, and unfortunate for me, I remember a lot of the answers to the questions because I would go through the tests over and over again.

Does anyone know if there are any differences between booster and bootcamp? I really don't know where to start, and any advice or guidance would be awesome.

Thank you!

low OAT

hi yall! i'm getting super vulnerable here but im honestly at a loss for words and just would like any advice on how to move on.

i took my OAT today and my score absolutely crushed me. i got a 280 TS/300 AA. my subscores were bio 290, chem 340, ochem 290, physics 250, qr 270, rc 360. im so upset because my booster scores were so much higher compared to my test. it almost felt unlucky.

i was scoring 320-360 on my FLs in booster, and the questions seemed so doable compared to my actual test.

i'm obviously planning to retake but im stuck on how to proceed. do i submit my application with these scores now and retake, or should i wait until my retake to submit my app? i'm lucky enough that its still early in the cycle to retake, but i have been so distraught since my exam that i really don't know how to go on from here.

i'm not asking for pity at all, just some genuine advice because i feel like my goals are becoming unattainable.

my current cGPA ~ 3.5 and my sGPA ~ 3.4. my ECs are strong and i feel that overall my application shows that im a well rounded individual.

thanks in advance

OAT Biology

hi all! i take the OAT tmrw and im worried mainly for bio. i majored in bio and graduated with a degree in physiology but the entire depth of Booster's bio is making me doubt that i'll get a good score. can anyone who's taken the test recently share how in depth the bio section is compared to booster? and any high yield topics? thank you!!
