The OAT is an optometry admission test designed to provide optometry education programs with a means to assess program applicants' potential for success. Almost every Canadian, American, European, Caribbean, and Australian optometry school require individuals to complete the OAT for admission consideration. Admission officers, whom are the people who decide whether you get into optometry school or not, use the OAT as a predictor of your success in optometry school. The OAT exam has the reputation of being one of the most difficult standardized tests one can attempt. Most optometry schools, especially the ones in Canada, set a minimum cut-off OAT score that the applicant must meet in order to be considered.
The OAT consists of 4 sections:
1) Survey of Natural Sciences
2) Reading Comprehension
3) Physics
4) Quantitative Reasoning
To be frank, the chances of getting into optometry school are slim. Students don't also realize that not every optometry school is an optometry school that will guarantee future success as an optometrist, optician, ophthalmologist, etc. It is in the student's best interests to get matriculated into as highly-renowned optometry school as possible.
To increase your chances of getting matriculated into a highly-renowned optometry school, or at very least an optometry school that will guarantee some degree of success career-wise, you must consider getting tutored or prepped by a professional company that has experience guiding students through the hurdles of the OAT.
As of 2019 students on average scored 63% higher on the OAT after prepping with Tutor STEM.
Below is a free practice OAT exam based on questions from the actual OAT.
Hundreds of practice OAT exams will be given to students upon registering for the OAT Prep course, along with tutoring on how to solve the questions.

DownloadTutoring sessions between highly qualified, experienced OAT instructors and aspiring students are available during set times of the year. The academy offers private 1 on 1 tutoring sessions, group sessions, and remote webcam sessions for students that are unable to commute long distances. All students will be given a Tutor STEM OAT package which consists of various means and modes of study resources.
In any case, students are able to re-take the OAT prep course however many times they wish to.
Tutor STEM will tailor the prep course towards your needs and capabilities. If you would like something that isn't generally offered or want to be taught only a certain subject, Tutor STEM will do its best to adapt to your needs.
Private 1 on 1 sessions: OAT prep via this route is seen to have the most effective results in regard to obtaining a competitive OAT score. The instructor develops an understanding of what the student needs to do in order to obtain a score high enough to meet the minimum cut-off required from the optometry schools the student is considering applying to. The teacher to student ratio via this option will always be 1 : 1 (one teacher and one student).
Group sessions: The more affordable option is to gather your classmates, colleagues, or anyone that would be interested in attending a group OAT prep session and book a course to be taken together with a certified instructor. This option enables students to divide the costs of the sessions among the others attending while being prepped alongside friends you feel comfortable with.
In-person: Sessions between you and the OAT instructor will take place either at the academy, or at any other place that is accessible and convenient for you ie: your university or home.
Webcam: Sessions between you and the OAT instructor will take place online via webcam. You and the instructor will connect online using Tutor STEM's webcam communication platform at an agreed time and commence the tutoring session as if you were present in the academy. This option is beneficial to students across Canada and the United States who are unable to commute to the academy.
Tutor STEM has been helping individuals from all sorts of academic backgrounds score excellent on the OAT in order to facilitate optometry school acceptance.
