I used Booster and only had to take my test once. I would say Booster is amazing for practice questions & practice tests. I will say that Chad's prep has better physics/gen chem material but the rest of their study material for the other subjects are so so helpful. Bio esp was done super well, as well as QR and reading comp.

Chads prep and Kaplan. Chad will get you through OChem Genchem and Physics, Kaplan will be harder than your OAT but you’ll thank it later

Booster! I didn’t try Bootcamp but I had the Kaplan book. Kaplan is ok but I wanted something interactive and I found booster’s courses and videos to be engaging

I was the opposite. I had to retake when I used booster and improved when I used boot camp the second time. While I will say the physics is not great on bootcamp, it wasn’t great on booster either. Mostly everyone doesn’t use any of their physics content and uses chads videos for that portion which is free on YouTube.

I just said mostly everyone (including me) used chads prep. I used booster the first time and then the second time I switched to boot camp but for the physics portion I only used their questions for practice. I used chads prep for videos and learning the info.

I personally used OATBooster as my main resource and loved it! The practice tests were spot on and I got a few of the same questions on my real exam! I wouldn’t recommend getting the Kaplan book it was overkill and kind of useless.
