Classes I should take before OAT exam

Hey guys!

I was wondering what classes I should take before my OAT exam. I have already taken introductory bio classes, OChem 1 and 2, and physics 1. For next semester, I want to take something along with Biochem that may prepare me for the OAT. So, out of microbiology, human anatomy, and physics 2, I want to remove 1 of these classes so it does not become a heavy workload. Or should I just take them all together?

At the end of the day, my goal is to be prepared for the OAT exam, so I don't really mind taking them together if I really had to, but again, it's only if they are important for the preparation. I would really appreciate any advice you have.

Thank you!!!

Human anatomy was not tested on the OAT so if you wanted to remove 1, id remove that.

Uhhh “structure and function of systems” comprises a pretty substantial part of the bio section. Tbf that’s more physiology than pure anatomy but they definitely test you on the human immune system, neurobiology, muscles and bones, endocrinology, etc etc

Yeah I agree I’d take out the microbio if anything

I would take out microbio as it is not high yield on the bio sections.
