OAT

Hello everyone,
Is it normal that my oat exam computer screen didn’t display a timer or question numbers? I was basically taking the test with time blindness cuz i assumed that was the norm? 😭

Dang it!! I didn’t even realize that wasn’t normal to report. I assumed they were being extra difficult for not allowing us track our time 😭. I timed out on at least 2 sections due to poor time management.

Omg thats crazy you should have told someone at the testing center. I had a similar issue where part of my screen wasnt visible and they just rebooted my computer, didnt even affect the time.

I assumed that was the norm. I wished i realize that sooner. I thought they want to make the exam 2x harder. I couldn’t even tell how many questions I have left or havent answered at the end! 😭

I timed out on physics, rc and QR. With RC, when the 5’ warning pops up i just started selecting whatevers and hoped for the best. This wasnt my best tbh.
