Redesigned With Feedback From Students
You spoke, we listened. Our brand new OAT course is designed using feedback from students just like you. You’ll get everything you need to succeed on test day, all in one place. We put our test expertise to work for you, so you get more points, in less time. Get the structure and support of in person classroom sessions taught by an OAT expert, plus live online instruction from our highest-rated Physics and Organic Chemistry experts.
Learn Content and Strategy
The OAT is going to test you on 2 years of undergraduate science work in just 90 minutes. The test will also challenge you with reading comprehension and math. Review the essential OAT content you need, and learn how to strategically answer every type of question you’ll see on test day.
Build Confidence With Realistic Practice
Pre-optometry students aren’t all the same. Your practice shouldn’t be, either. Get ready for everything the OAT brings your way with customizable quizzes in Qbank, topic-specific quizzes, and plenty of full-length practice. Busy schedule? Your prep course goes everywhere you do with the Kaplan Mobile Prep app.
SESSION OVERVIEW
What to expect
Here’s what a typical classroom course looks like from start to finish. Each session builds off the next, and the practice tests are sure to help you feel calm and confident come test day.
-
Strategy & Reading I
Test Strategies, Reading Comprehension
After this session you will be able to describe the sections of the OAT and their scoring systems; formulate a personal study calendar that includes all the necessary actions from now until Test Day; and recall the steps of Kaplan's question, answer choice, and CBT strategies. You will also be able to recall Kaplan's strategies for reading strategically and classifying reading comprehension question types.
-
