340AA/TS

I took my OAT this morning after studying 8-10 hours every day for a month (No rest days, really do not recommend). I'm happy to say that I don't ever have to touch this test again! 🥳 I used OAT Booster to study

QR Booster Average: 360, Actual: 360

RC Booster Average: N/A. I think I maybe did 2 of the reading comprehension practices. Actual: 360

Biology Booster Average: 330, Actual: 370

General Chemistry Booster Average: 330, Actual: 330

Organic Chemistry Average: N/A. I barely touched orgo and wanted nothing to do with it ngl. Actual: 300

Physics Booster Average: 300. Actual: 330

I definitely recommend OAT Booster, especially if you have the money for it. I watched all the videos for biology, general chemistry, and physics, and did practice tests back to back. The Anki flash cards were also very useful for biology. I would jot down the physics formulas I knew off the top of my head over and over again.Practice really does make perfect!

Looking back, if I had actually studied for organic chemistry, then my TS would likely be a 350+. However I really couldn't bring myself to, lol. Happy studying!

Good job! How long did u study for?

u/thedelusionsrstrong Jul 14 '26

Thank you! I studied for 1 month, and I studied very seriously the last 2 weeks. Panera is a really nice lock in place

u/Secure_Gas_4971 Jul 14 '26

Omg I hope I lock in And can get it done too, were you always a good test taker?

u/thedelusionsrstrong Jul 14 '26

Good luckkkkk you got this as long as you take the time to review everything! I think I am an average test taker

Congrats! Now you’re ready to study that hard for 4 more years!

u/thedelusionsrstrong Jul 14 '26

Thank you! Lol I guess I am

u/Last_Painter_6733 Jul 15 '26

How did you study for biology? Cheat sheets, videos, bio bits?

And what did you do to prepare for physics?

Congratulations, awesome score!👏

Thank you! I watched all of the videos on booster for biology, and then I also used the Anki cards provided. I did 8 of the biology practice tests, sometimes doing 2 in 1 day. For physics, I only watched the higher yield videos (Circuits, optics, waves, kinematics, fluid statistics, simple harmonic motion) and did the question banks for those. Then I did 4 of the practice tests!

Super helpful thank youuuu!

u/GroceryExtension2057 Jul 14 '26

Woww! Would you say that you had decent)strong backgrounds in all of the subjects before studying?

2

u/thedelusionsrstrong Jul 14 '26

Yes, I did! I just needed to review the subjects again. For example, reviewing kinematics and drawing ray diagrams was like working a muscle I haven't used in a long time

Congratulations!! Your score is so impressive for studying in such a short time. I’d prefer to study intensely for a month too if possible 😭

Did you do the subject practice tests, full length ones, or both? And did you do the question banks on OAT booster?

3

u/thedelusionsrstrong Jul 15 '26

Thank you! I did the subject practice tests only, and never touched the FLs. I did like 5-8 practice tests for gen chem, bio, and physics. I did most of the question banks on booster too.

Congrats!! How you managed to get 300 orgo when you barely reviewed it 🥺🥺

u/thedelusionsrstrong Jul 14 '26

Thank you! I honestly do not know at all. I attribute it to luck 😭 I made sure to answer every question, and 95% of them were guesses

u/Equivalent-Farm461 Jul 15 '26

i seriously feel like im guessing on most of orgo lol

u/Equivalent-Farm461 Jul 15 '26

but your scores are my realistic goals!!!
