By creating a dynamic atmosphere between Tutor and student, the student will be able to truly understand the material. Constant collaboration is the...

OAT Quantitative Reasoning Tutoring FAQ
By the time you are preparing to take the OAT exam, high school math may seem like a distant memory. Many students are surprised to find themselves calculating percentages or solving systems of equations as they prepare for the OAT Quantitative Reasoning section. However, the ability to perform simple quantitative calculations is essential for any healthcare professional, including optometrists. You may have to calculate dosages or adjust prescriptions based on these kinds of fundamental calculations. Despite the importance of the skill, it is not something that is in the recent memory of most OAT test-takers. Instead of poring through high school textbooks or wandering through the material on the Internet, consider personalized OAT Quantitative Reasoning tutoring.
OAT instructor's high scores on this section of the exam show that they understand exactly what you need to know to post a similarly outstanding score. OAT Quantitative Reasoning Tutoring offers you the chance to work with one of these knowledgeable guides and to build on the test-taking strategies that he or she has demonstrated to be effective. Why spend hours developing these skills on your own when you can work with a talented tutor who is eager to show you how to get on the fast track to success?
Working with your tutor one-on-one, you can benefit from a customized course of instruction designed to help you augment the specific OAT Quantitative Reasoning topics you understand least. This focused approach to review can help you get the most out of every hour of your study time. Studying efficiently means that you can study smarter, not harder, and work toward success while still having time to meet your many other obligations.
You may find that you notice several benefits once you hire a private tutor. Your knowledge and understanding of the subject will soar. Once you begin to realize that you understand the material, your self-esteem and confidence will rise rapidly. Your tutor can teach you vital study skills that you can take with you for the rest of your academic career and beyond. Tutors have multiple ways to help you study, including visual aids. With a tutor, you can work at your own pace. If you have mastered a concept, you can move on right away, so you aren't wasting time. On the other hand, if you are having a problem grasping a concept, you can spend as much time on it as you need. Furthermore, you won't have to wait in line at the end of class to ask your teacher questions, only to be rushed because you only have a few minutes between classes.
Your OAT Quantitative Reasoning score is one of the most important parts of your optometry school application. Consider that undergraduate institutions vary considerably in challenge and rigor and, therefore, each applicant's GPA can be difficult to compare to others. Instead, admissions committees use OAT scores to level the playing field and analyze which candidates are most likely to succeed in a rigorous optometry curriculum. You can't afford anything less than optimal preparation for the OAT. Short-changing yourself now will only lead to more headaches later in your development, as you find the need to return continually to concepts that you studied previously. A personal instructor can use his or her enthusiasm and communication skills to help you retain concepts in your long-term memory, simplifying your preparation and helping you maximize your chance of gaining a seat in the ultra-competitive optometry school admissions process. You can schedule in-person sessions in the comfort of your home or any place of your choosing. Additionally, you can have face-to-face online sessions through a live-learning platform.

Today we checked over the practice test and then worked on some essay strategies and word problems. I was telling the student that he needs to focus more on coming up with a comprehensive argument above anything else.
For homework, he should complete a sample essay.
The student and I discussed the results of his practice exam #2. He improved by at least 90 points. His greatest improvement was seen in the reading section. We then started to go over each section, 1 reading and 2 math, and we went over the questions he missed or didn't answer.
I brought along another book that had several vocabulary lists, and he made copies of them so he could improve his vocabulary for the first part of the reading section.
Today we talked about derivatives and their rules. The student has a test tomorrow, and she did an awesome job with studying for the test. I gave her a mock test that correlates with her study review.
We spent the first part of the session grading the practice test that the student took independently. After determining the student's score range, we created goals. The student is already close to her goal in Reading Comprehension (section 3), so that section needs the least amount of work. The student needs the most work in Mathematics Achievement (section 4). We then corrected sections 1 & 2 of the practice test. The student made a list of vocabulary words that she did not know from section 1, and she will make flashcards for those words and practice them. We corrected section 2 (Quantitative Reasoning) together, and the student will save her corrected work and answers for future reference.
Topics: Functions overview, word problems overview, data interpretation overview, counting problems overview, exponents rules, discussion of the verbal section and review the verbal section strategies, essay section discussion, psychological preparation leading up to the test and test-eve and test day, scoring and percentiles Progress: This session was meant to cover a lot of topics as quickly as possible, and I think it was successful. I have been coordinating with the student by email about admissions and GRE questions, and I will stay in contact with her over the next few weeks until she is finished with the test and her apps. The session did what I had hoped, and I think she will have everything she needs to prepare smartly for the test and be as ready as possible. I will be following up with her down the road to see what the results of her test and applications are.
The student completed about 20 problems from each of the chapters. We addressed issues she had with two-variable word problems and reviewed sentence-completion problems. I assigned the remainder of the homework I gave her last time, and added the chapter on two-variable word problems and the remaining problems in sentence equivalents.
