A little bit about myself, I’m a second year Optometry student. Aside from my academics, I enjoy making UA-cam videos helping pre-optometry students, offering study tips, cooking videos, and lifestyle vlogs. Subscribe to be updated of when my videos are uploaded!❤️
Can you talk about the impacts of COVID-19 on applications/ shadowing hours/ work/ volunteer experience and what you recommend?
Anna Zahorchak same! This was my first semester being free and not taking any classes so I was hoping to get more shadowing hours and i haven’t :( I wanted to get more hours before the application opens
Hi! So I actually got in touch with admission and received this
“I tell people please not to worry about that. We will - and our faculty will - understand. This spring and summer are just going to be “not there” when it comes to experience. I mainly just hate that people are missing out on HAVING the experience and learning and getting excited/passionate about the field, you know? Hopefully not too many applicants will have waited and have NO experience because of these two semesters, but even so... if they did, then they did. Admissions reviewers will understand and allow for the way things have been. Does that make sense? “
Khanh Ton hi! Thank you for reaching out to admissions! This definitely gives me a peace of mind with applications. I have some experience, but was hoping to gain more!
Khanh Ton Thank you so much!
Thank you for your video! Your advice helped me score above the 90th percentile as well!!!! You are an amazing influence and I'm glad I found your channel!
Thank you for making this, it was so helpful! I'm taking the OAT this summer and I am beyond nervous!
You’ll do amazing! Best of luck!☺️
Cora how did u do
Chads videos have helped me so much thank you for the recs
Of course!!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video! I'm going to be a college freshman soon and your videos are really helping motivate me in pursuing this career ☺️
Best of luck on your journey! Keep me updated in 4 years when you get accepted into Optometry School :)
Khanh Ton Expect a bigger "thank you!" from me once I do 😁 also your energy is one of a kind I'm so glad I came across your channel
Welcome back 😁❤
Thanks!
i’m hoping to be able to attend an optometry program when i get my bachelors degree (about 1 year) your videos motivate me to work harder! thank you!
That makes me so happy to hear! Best wishes! You got this!!!
Thanks sweetheart for your very profound insights..
Aw you’re the sweetest! Good luck!
Hello! Thank you for the video, it is definitely helpful, what would you suggest as a study schedule for someone who is not able to study for entire days at a time (for example, someone who needs a summer job, etc.)?
Depends on how many hours a week you work! Your study schedule should be based off of how much free time you have. I recommend you rest after every shift and then hit the books! It’ll be helpful if you go to a coffee shop or library (or wherever you study best) since your free hours are limited so you should be 100% focused at every session!
Hi Khanh! For the first 4-5 weeks dedicated to getting the material down, would you recommend reviewing flashcards at night from just the material learned that day or do a whole comprehensive review of all the flashcards made so far? Thanks for the video btw!! it was super helpful and has me pumped and ready to study this summer :)
Great question! I should have specified! I did the flashcard at night of the material learned that day a few times for reinforcement, then hammered comprehensively on the weekend :)
Hi Khanh! thank you for your video. between physic’s bachelor and biology’s bachelor which one are you think is better for OAT test?
Thank you very much. Can you do one video about how you can register for the OAT test, how long for your wait and also where you take it?
You register for the OAT on www.ada.org/en/oat !
Thank you for your advice. I’m studying biology for my pre med undergraduate. I have about two years left before i make my transition into optometry school. Do you take the OAT prior to registration for optometry school?
Do you recommend getting the KAPLAN book to study from? Or using the DAT bootcamp and OAT destroyer tests?
can you do an Anki tutorial please? I'm just starting to study and would love to use it!
Hey Khanh! Thank you so much for your informative video. Not sure if you mentioned this in the beginning, but do you recommend scheduling the test before or after you start/finish studying?
Before! It takes a while to verify your information and test dates are limited
Hi. Thank you give a lot of information. Can you give the list that need to study to help me to pass the OAT test
Please make an anki flash are video. That would be so helpful
I will try! :)
When you did the Kaplan course, did you follow the schedule exactly and read every page of the book or did you just watch the videos or both?
thank you so much ms
Of course!
Can you please talk about scholarship and financial aid offered from the Optometry school?
On your interview day, they'll provide you with a list of potential scholarships! If you qualify for a scholarship from the optometry school, they'll include that in your acceptance letter. Most of the students who use financial aid get it via FAFSA! Every school has a financial advisor so don't worry about figuring it out for yourself!
Does the OAT cover the mathematical portion of chemistry? I've heard you also couldn't use a calculator when taking the OAT?
is there a way you could link all your resources? like chads videos or kaplan study sets?
also wanted to ask about that kaplan book
Is the Kaplan Lesson Book the one that says MCAT or is there a book for strictly optometry?
Subscribed!
Woohoo!
Hi! Did you use the oat study guide to guide yourself to which topics you need to cover ? Or did you cover all the subject topics in chads videos/UA-cam?
You can do that! Or you can look at the guide from the OAT prep books! :) But the OAT covers everything so you pretty much need to hit it all.
Hey girly, in regards to the blue book. Where can I find that book. I’ve looked EVERYWHERE. LOL. I’ve watched your previous OAT prep video and you showed us a different blue book. Is that the one you were referring to ? Pleaseeee answer
You can't buy the blue book online unless someone is selling their old one. :( It's exclusive to the Kaplan course unfortunately. The book I showed in my previous video is good too but not the one i'm talking about in this video.
Do you recommend taking a practice OAT exam to start and see where you are at? If so what practice exam should I take and if not which practice exams should I save for right before the OAT? Thanks!
I don’t think you should! Wait to take the practice exams after going through the materials at least once to see where you’re at! :)
Hi,
Which RC Strategy would you recommend for the OAT or which one worked for you ?
I did not study for the reading comprehension section. I kind of just winged it on the day of the exam 😅
Hi I just bought the OAT prep plus 2019-2020 book. Do you think this will be just as good as the lesson book? Or I should buy books
Since you just bought it, just use it! Use supplementary material from external websites and you should be fine. No need to buy an extra book :)
Did you learn any of the metric conversions for OAT? Side note- on Chad's prep, he's giving free OAT practice exams for a limited time!
I did very broadly! And thanks for letting everyone else know!
Can you do the onky review @khanh t
Can you please provide which topic will be covered in each subject
You can google OAT subjects and they will provide you with a list of topics covered under every subject!
What’s the difference between the Kaplan lesson book and the Kaplan review notes? And which would you recommend if not both?
And also is the lesson book something you have to fill in with answers?
Kaplan lesson book has a lot more information. I find that the material was a lot easier to follow and the practice questions were great too. The Kaplan course comes with the lesson book and a separate book that you take notes with from the Kaplan videos.
Khanh Ton Oh I see! Thank you so much, your videos are extremely helpful!
Thank you! Glad you like them!😊
Can you please do an Anki video?
I will try before summer ends!☺️
Can you link the Kaplan blue book you were talking about in a comment or share on your Instagram?
I can’t link it because you can only find it on eBay and it’ll expire. It’s the only book that’s huge and says “Lesson Book”.
@@KhanhTon Hey, love the videos! can you please put a picture of the cover or the IBSN of the book? I've had no luck finding the book.
@@imarmilsollet8111I am looking for it too😢
Hi!! what kaplan blue book are you talking about? i can’t find it lol can you link it pls
I can’t insert a link because I can only find it on eBay but look at my description of the book! It’s the lesson book!
Kaplan doesn’t sell the book individually :(
I think i found it! thank you so much! Also, how many times do you suggest I go through OAT destroyer lol is once enough?
@@tiffanycong5294 Once is enough! :) Make flashcards on topics you miss so you won't miss it again next time they ask you!
@tiffany can you please share where you found the book
Melissa Herbert ebay :)
Flash cards on quizlet or physical ones?
Whatever works for you! If you do physics/chem/Ochem it might be easier for you to use physical flashcards to draw everything out but if you do biology it might be faster to type everything!
Khanh Ton Ok thanks for the feedback! Btw love your videos. I think it’s great to see the student perspective. Keep it up! :)
Did you ever make that anki video?
Yesss🥰
can you apply to any optometry school or does it have to be in your region?
Any
Khanh Ton thank you. I was told just your region and was confused lol
chị dễ thương quá
Chads videos are $60/month 🥹
Omg😭😭😭 it’s gone up so much
