Since our students have started using Pass the OT, we have seen a significant increase in the number that passe the NBCOT® examination and higher overall scores. It is a great tool for focused study and support.Read More Show less

Your program is completely unique in the approach, and I am now convinced that it made all the difference in helping my former students pass the NBCOT® exam, whom had not previously been successful after using other study preparation programs.Read More Show less

OT Program Director
St. Catherine's University

Thanks to Pass the OT’s “Gift a Student Program”, I just found out that one of our top students, who surprisingly had great difficulty passing after using all the other study preps, finally passed on her fifth try. She had nothing but great things to say about this program, and now I am a believer too.Read More Show less

OT Student (Used Silver Package)
California State University Dominguez Hills

Using Pass the OT was the best decision I made. I had failed my test twice before by 12 then 13 points. I didn’t know what to do or what information I was missing in order for me to pass. I had heard of Pass the OT before and was skeptical at first but then decided to go for it because I had nothing else to loose. The audios, Sara and Stephanie were excellent and I passed on my third try. My score increased 36 points and I couldn’t not be happier to call myself an OTR®!Read More Show less

OTA Student (Used Silver Package)
Keiser University

Pass the OT helped me to focus on what was most important to know for the exam. Between the modules, charts, videos, and audio recordings, I was able to learn through a variety of ways which made my studying a lot more manageable. Pass the OT knew which topics were important, and because their audio recording gave me intervention ideas, which helped build my clinical perspective. I also learned the importance of how to read a question for what it was really asking based off the diagnosis, setting, OT process, etc. Regardless of what method one uses to study for the NBCOT®, I would highly recommend using Pass the OT.Read More Show less

Thank you so very much to both you and Tutor Kim for your program and time and effort. You obviously have a great program and one that WORKS. Your individualized tutoring program is the best out there for individuals who need help focusing their attention on specific areas and Kim was amazing. She was patient and clear in her explanations. I got a 440 the first time I took the exam and got a 481 this time with PasstheOT! I get to keep my job which I have wanted for so long because of your help! I would recommend this program to anyone and everyone. It was worth every cent. Thank you again!Read More Show less

I found your program to be a wonderful and effective study tool. The information provided was well organized and really highlighted what we needed to know for the exam. My exam score improved from 448 to 515 with my second attempt. I wish I had known about your program earlier! Thank you again!Read More Show less

OTR/L A.T. Still University (OT Silver Package)

WOW. I highly recommend using this program before you waste $500-$1,000 studying other material. I am an older student and I took the NBCOT® twice and failed both times using Therapy Ed® book and CD. I knew the information, but was not answering the questions the way I needed to in order to be successful. Pass the OT presented the information in a different way and I was able to break down each question and make the correct choice. I went from a 427, to a 431 studying with Therapy Ed® to a 468 in four weeks using the Silver package and 4 tutoring session with Sarah. You can do the math; I am just happy someone referred me to this awesome program. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you. I really appreciate your help in this process.Read More Show less

Student
OTR/L Western Michigan. Univ. (OT Silver Package)

Pass the OT helped me to focus on what was most important to know for the exam. Between the modules, charts, videos, and audio recordings, I was able to learn through a variety of ways which made my studying a lot more manageable. Pass the OT knew which topics were important, and the audio recordings that mirrored different topics allowed me to think outside the box. Rather than just knowing factual details, the audios gave me intervention ideas, which helped build my clinical perspective. I would highly suggest the tutoring sessions as well. Whether it be just one session or even 10, talking about questions and topics really helped my learning. Through the tutoring sessions, I found that I was better able to read questions and answer them correctly by the end. I also learned the importance of how to read a question for what it was really asking based off the diagnosis, setting, OT process, etc. Regardless of what method one uses to study for the NBCOT® , I would highly recommend using Pass the OT. The staff running the program were very motivating and helpful and the tutor was knowledgeable and boosted by confidence !Read More Show less

I PASSED with flying colors! Thank you for all your support, Edelina! I'm attaching my results--518! Woohoo!!! I'm so pleased! Since I had such a big time gap between graduating and taking the exam I was overwhelmed last fall trying to figure out what and how to study. All parts of this course and especially the 8 tutoring sessions with you helped me get my clinical reasoning gears in sync. That's a HUGE part of this score. During the test I could hear your voice and how you would view and take apart the questions. The focus for each type of client was clear because that's what we talked about. I deeply appreciate your calm and steady belief in me, even on the days when I wasn't believing in myself. I'm so relieved that I passed the exam on the first try. Thank you thank you thank you.Read More Show less

Who We Are

Since launching in June of 2013, our study course and one-on-one personal tutoring for the NBCOT® Exam has helped over 2,000 students pass the occupational therapy test (NBCOT® exam). In addition to our comprehensive online course consisting over 2000 questions,18 hours of audio recordings, assessment quizzes, videos, and easy to understand charts. Pass the OT prides itself on our passionate and dedicated tutors, each being instrumental in helping our students pass the NBCOT® exam through their one-on-one sessions.

Our program is set up holistically, to keep you organized, build your confidence, and assist you with studying smarter and being more prepared for the actual NBCOT® exam. It is also a direct result of the students who were fed up with the existing study preps out there that just didn’t work. Because we have seen so many students make common mistakes like being a generalist instead of specialist, not studying according to their learning style, trying to memorize answers, and taking practice exams again and again without fully understanding the material, we have built our program in stark contrast to our competitors’ programs which often lack structure, are overwhelming, lack enough examples of interventions, solely provide questions, and don’t pay attention to your individual needs. We look forward to helping make this the last time you take the NBCOT® exam.
