Dear U See Eyes,

Any tips for doing chem and physics problems without a calculator? No calculator is taking me twice the amount of time to complete a problem :(

- Flowers

Dear Flowers,

For the OAT, A basic on-screen calculator is provided for the Quantitative Reasoning section. A useful that we have is to to memorize and know the conversions such as 1kg= 1000g to save time when you take the exam. We suggest to do more practice problems and find patterns in questions to be able to manage your time throughout the exam. Best of luck Flowers! You can do it :).

Wishing you well,

For those that took OAT, about how much evolutionary bio (taxonomy, cladograms, etc.) questions were there? Is it that important to study each animal group like in Bio 94?

Dear Bear123,

Great question! You don't need to know all the information that Bio 94 requires of you. If you know the general trend like what are the major groups and few prominent animal examples for those groups you should be good. A good way to see what type of taxonomy questions they ask is to do a few of Kaplan's practice questions within that Ecology/Taxonomy section. We recommend purchasing the Kaplan study bundle that provides access to practice tests and a quiz bank; So, you have a better idea of what type of questions to expect and prepare for. Also, our newsletters includes some helpful study resources such as quizzes, tests, Kaplan study sheets, etc. Make sure to exhaust every free resource in the web too!

Wishing you the best of luck,

I have the Kaplan OAT 2019-2020 study book and I'm wondering if the information in there is comprehensive and a good indicator of the material being tested. Because in the qualitative reasoning section there's not much math but I'm pretty sure there would be more material tested than what's in the book. If it's not comprehensive enough, what other study material is there that's inexpensive/free? Also, where can I get lots of practice tests? Thank you!

Dear Bear1219,

We have used Kaplan Strategies preparatory books, OAT destroyer, Exam cracker, practice tests online, watched YouTube videos, review sheets, and class notes. Some of us have enrolled into Kaplan preparatory courses. Chad and Organic Chemistry are great Youtube accounts that review the information well. We would suggest to review Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and physics problems if you have a large studying time. If you don’t have much time to study, then do your best by reviewing concepts you have not master that well. Flashcards are essential. They are extremely helpful, and you can make them in quizlet or use ones that have been published already. However, be aware of misinformation from some. The Kaplan study bundle is a great study source, where they give you question banks and 2 practice tests more. Also, the Kaplan tests are a bit harder than the actual so don’t worry too much if you are scoring badly, if within the 300 range in the Kaplan then you will do well in the actual.

Wishing you the best of luck,

U See Eyes
