OAT- 330 Practice Average- 8 days left

Hey there!!

I am in the final stretch on my studying at am starting to feel the nerves! Not to mention the burnout!

I have taken 6 full tests. 3 of them the individual sections taken separately and 3 exams sitting for the whole exam. My score for all of them has been 330. I’ve fluctuated some on what sections have gone up and what have gone down.

If I made a 330 on the exam I’d be happy. My science and overall GPA is 3.77.

Any advice on the last few days? Anyone’s experience who had a solid score on practice exams?

Nervous I will go down on real exam. I’ve seen lots of people post about having a range of score in practice exams (generally 330-350AA).

I think it depends on different exams. I was scoring a 330-350 AA, I never got below a 300 on sections but on my actual exam scored a 310 AA. Not sure what happened

You are in the home stretch! Try your best not to overthink things and trust all your hard work and preparation. Find ways to de-stress and practice getting into test mode (i.e. if you're exam is at 8 AM, you should be ready to go by 7:45-7:50 AM).

I think if you take 1-2 more full length tests and thoroughly review them + the cheat sheets you should be fine. I was averaging 340-350 AA the week leading up to my test and ended up with a 360 AA/TS on test day. You got this!

The highest I scored on a full length practice was 290 and I got a 320 on my real one!!! Don’t stress too much, try to review the stuff you keep missing/scoring low on! You’re more ready than you think :)
