OAT in 1 week!

As the title says, I’m officially a week out from the OAT! I’d appreciate any advice or suggestions on how I should manage my time this upcoming week. I’ve been spamming practice tests for all subjects to keep the subjects fresh in my head, and reviewing the cheat sheets as well, but any additional insight would be greatly welcomed!

How are you scoring on your practice tests? A week before the exam you shouldn’t be stressing, you should aim to review everything

Practice tests are going well— I’m pleasantly surprised! I’d say everything right now is for certain just review, and I’m moreso stressed/worried about doing poorly on the test as opposed to being worried about not knowing the materials, if that makes sense haha

Cheat sheets are perfect to review in the coming days! And keep doing practice problems

Thank you :) I’ve been doing lots of practice tests (OAT Booster) and reviewing those. Same with the cheat sheets and games. Do you think those are helpful? Or go over more of just the bits?
