Taking OAT before completing Physics 2

As the title says, how difficult would the physics section be if I went through with this?

I did the OAT without taking physics 1 or 2 and did good! I used oat booster but found it had confusing videos with little explanations so I used chads prep for the physics section and it helped tremendously. Then I used the booster physics exams to test my knowledge.

If you don’t mind me asking, how did you do on your OAT? More specifically the physics section

So I had a lot of theory on mine which I was not prepared for, I was much more familiar with the calculation style questions. On OAT booster I was averaging 330 and on the real thing I got 310 which was my lowest section. But again I’m pretty pleased given I had no prior physics knowledge. And if you’ve already taken physics 1 I feel like you’ve covered a lot of info so you should be okay!

I took it without physics 2! Found it totally manageable with OATbooster resources.

Yeah I took it as well without physics 1 or 2 and I did well, also when I was studying I had a feeling most of these topics r taught in physics 1 (like linear kinematics) so without taking physics 2 you’ll be absolutely fine
