It depends on the school, but from most of them, I have heard that they like for you to have taken the OAT- but I would reach out!

Hey Josh, thank you for being so informative with all of your videos!! Could you explain what you meant by adding your gpa and oat together for a 350? Just because even with a 2.00 and 200 it would be more than 400, so I was slightly confused! Thank you 😊

Im sorry i didn’t explain it super well in the video, but to get a full sense of academic achievement, schools will add the three numbers in the GPA and OAT together, and then take the average of the numbers to give them a clearer picture of how prepared you are academically

Can you please tell me? Whether this test is for taking admission in optometry or also for international optometry graduates students as well?

As far as I know this is just a school for US and Canada to enter into OD programs- this would not be the same for international programs, and other tests are accepted instead of the OAT as well

Can you please help me? What is the best way to go US/Canada? To get admission in Masters of optometry or some other way? Your advice will be appreciated, thank you

This is a good question! I was able to find a free one on the Kaplan website and on the ASCO website a few years ago- have you tried either of those?

As far as books: the Kaplan book (any year is good) was good for me, but the practice problems in it were the most helpful-- I would recommend getting a program, weather kaplan or CrackOAT or a similar one, that has a bunch of practice problems and practice exams!

The Kaplan site has a bit on it and the AOA website should have a bit: but your best bet is trying to share a book or course with someone

Is the OAT multiple choice or fill in the blank?

What if it takes a student a couple years longer to complete undergrad? Will this negatively impact your chances of getting accepted into opt school

It is multiple choice!! And no, your timeline is not a huge factor for most schools

But long story short, you have to take it at what’s called a ‘prometrics’ station and it costs about $500
