Although practicing the OAT is a major part of your preparation, you do not want to cram for this test! Trust me I tried, and everything just blurs into one massive thing and you cannot sleep. I would suggest doing one full practice test the day before taking the OAT to see what it will be like. Oh, and of course get lots of sleep, you don’t want to be nodding off during your OAT!
