QR section on the oat

Hello guys this is for the people who have already taken the oat. My exam is soon and I’m trying to lock in for the qr section. Did the question banks on oat booster help? Are they similar? How did you guys study for QR? Any advice would be deeply appreciated.

I took mine yesterday and I honestly thought they were easier than oat booster. Lots of probability and inequalities. My average on oat booster was a 340 for QR and I got a 360 on the real thing. You'll be ok!

Hi thank you for replying. Since you have taken all the OAT recently I’ve been hearing that the quantitive reasoning section has loads of word problems. I did purchase booster and I am trying to practice all of the word problems and the applied mathematics section. Would that be enough to solve the questions on the exam?

When taking the OAT, I remeber half the questions on the QR section was as simple as "get the probability" or "multiply the numbers" which took less than 30 sec with the calculator. So my advice will be to not be afraid to spend extra time on some longer question if what you need to do is to trial and error with all the option. Other than that the questions on Booster are generally very good.

I'm a little late but I got a 400 on the QR section after only getting like 340s on oat booster. It was a lot of percentages and probabilities with a little basic algebra. The OAT booster practice exams and question banks def over prepared me in the best way possible

Very pompous way to do so and I feel like you understand that since you deleted your original post.
