OAT Exam

OAT Exam

The OAT Exam, officially called the "Optometry Admissions Test," has just undergone some pretty major surgery.
Instead of the OAT exam being a lengthy 8 hour test and being a paper and pencil test, the OAT exam is now computerized.

The OAT Exam used to be offered only twice a year - once during April and once during August.

With the OAT exam now computarized, the OAT Exam is offered 22 times per year, which is a big improvement.

Time to get the OAT exam results used to take 2 months with the paper and pencil test.  Now the OAT exam results
will be returned in one month.  The goal is to have the OAT exam results finished in two weeks or maybe even one week.

The OAT Exam is often called the "Rite of Passage" into Optometry school.  It must be taken if one would like to be accepted
to Optometry school (there are rare exceptions to this rule).
