Optometry Admission Test (OAT)
|
 The OAT is prepared and administered by the Optometry Admission Testing Program at the direction of the Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry (ASCO - OAT).
The OAT is now available only online. Testing is available year round and an examinee can select the date, time, and place to test.
In addition, examinees receive their scores immediately after the completion of the test at the test center.

Due to the processing time it will take for official OAT scores to be received by our office in time to meet our application deadline, you must take the OAT by December 1, 2007. We will not consider OAT test scores taken after December 1, 2007 for the 2007-2008 admissions cycle.

The OAT is mandatory for all applicants, including
those seeking transfer from other optometry schools and applicants from schools outside the United States. Berkeley Optometry accepts OAT scores from test taken no more than three years prior to the opening date of the admissions cycle for which they are to be considered. Therefore, for the 2007-2008 admissions cycle, we will only consider OAT scores from September 1, 2004 until December 1, 2007.
