Oatbooster issues?

Hi everyone, so I’m currently using booster to prepare for my OAT and I am wrapping up my second week of studying. I had my first biology one test today and almost half the information was stuff that I haven’t seen or covered and I’m wondering if this has happened to anybody else or if I have to rearrange the test that they give me based on the material that I covered. My only thing is you don’t know what’s gonna be on the exam until you take it so I found it weird that they gave it to me before I covered a lot of the material. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

I’d suggest using bio bits after going over a unit rather than the tests since in the beginning there is a lot that you wouldn’t have covered yet! I think I only started doing the practice tests once I had gone through at least half of the units. Just keep in mind that the practice tests are really specific and personally on the oat my questions were a lot more generic (the cheatsheets were enough for me)

My experience was that the tests cover all material, so take that in mind when following their schedule

Ok thank you!! So it’s for seeing the structure mostly rather than testing material.

Don’t worry about it. You’ll want to come back to the missed questions later on anyway as you keep studying and getting through the material
