I went on Amazon and looked at a couple different study books, but those were mainly just helpful with the math. I would recommend searching on air warriors because Ive found some threads with large study materials.

One the deadline passes or you have submitted you cannot retake the OAR as it will invalidate your application.

Considering the last board accepted all but 2 people you are better off applying as is.

Also medical waivers don't matter for board.
