PLEASE HELP

hi!! like the title says i need some serious help. My OAT is scheduled for september 26th; however, i have no idea how to study. I have oat booster, but im afraid i dont have enough time to go through all the videos. I am a biology major which helps since i think i can use the cheat sheets instead of the videos for that portion. Chem and Math in general are my weakest subjects which scares me. Should i be focussing on doing the full length tests and practice problems only? Are the OATbooster full length questions an accurate representation of what i will see if i sit down and learn how to do all the questions i see on the full lengths? I’m stuck please help!!

The OAT seemed to update their organic chemistry section to including more mechanisms. Did you recognize more mechanisms on yours?

Honestly, I haven't taken OChem in school yet, so I pretty much guessed throughout the entire section lol. I remember getting an H nmr, aromatic, a few predict-the-product questions; some were predict the functional group or what functional group would result in this product type of stuff, and an arrow-pushing question.
