For everyone who is preparing to take the NBCOT® either COTA® or OTR® , if you want to save yourself lots of stress & anxiety, get "pass the OT" I had taken the NBCOT® & the 1st time I felt "outclassed" & honestly out of place. A friend told me about "pass the OT" and I decided I didn't have anything to lose because therapyED® , purple book or even NBCOT® guide really didn't help me in any way. So, I got pass the OT & it took me about 2 days to when I noticed a lot of material that helped me figure out a lot of puzzles together for me that I couldn't figure out during the test. When I went back to take the test I was confident but cautious but "pass the OT" made me think different & better understand what was really being asked, I was overjoyed that it emailed the creator who was even nice enough to reply 🙂 And have been licensed for 6 months now & enjoying my career, I am a loudmouth about "passtheOt" & make a point to tell every OT student I meet that it is the way to go, it DOES save you a lot of money because as you know the test isn't cheap! So, PASS THE OT is not only recommended but a MUST if you're serious about passing this stressful test. It worked for me, it will work for you!Read More Show less

I can't say enough words to express my gratitude for this program. It has opened my opportunities, and has started my career. I highly recommend using this program right when you first start studying. This is ALL you need. It lays everything out for you so you don't have to worry about missing any important topics, and you have difficult practice question on each module to get you thinking. Once you get through this program, you WILL pass your exam. This is a must have!Read More Show less

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

OTR(R)©/L Univ. of Alberta (OT Crash Course)

This was a wonderful tool that I used to help me pass my NBCOT® the first time that I took it! I bought the crash course, and took the quizzes after each module. I also used AOTA® pdfs, which were good but in some areas not as detailed. I used the Therapy Ed ® book exams, and some of the information that I needed to cross reference. Passtheot was a lot less overwhelming than Therapy E® ..Read More Show less

OTR(R)©/L Clevland State Univ. (OT Gold Package)

After taking the exam previously and learning I did not pass was devastating. I took the Therapy Ed course, purchased multiple practice examination textbooks, and used flash cards. I could not understand where I was going wrong. I even reached out to the college I graduated from and that was a dead end. Stephanie Shane was kind to take the time to speak with me by phone to provide her suggestions. I took the 7 week course with a tutoring session at the end of each week. The tutor I worked with was Kim. She was amazing and extremely professional. We would discuss the questions I got incorrect on the weekly exams and/or any of the material that week I had difficulties understanding. To my surprise, it was not the lack of knowing the material but the lack of self confidence I had in myself. This program helped me understand my greatest weakness by having the professional on the other end of the telephone to discuss my clinical reasoning. I increased my score by 40 points and I am proud to say I am now an Occupational Therapist. I highly recommend this program to anyone who needs assistance with passing the NBCOT exam.Read More Show less

OTR(R)©/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

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

Emily- COTA®/L

I have had the privilege of being able to work in a variety of settings in the OT field, which has allowed me to gain diverse knowledge and experience. I have a strong background and love for orthopedics and have been referred to by colleagues as "the body architect" due to my knowledge and understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy and kinesiology. Prior to entering the OT field I taught middle and high school sciences, which allowed me to gain experience in finding ways to relay information to students with various learning styles, as well as gain the passion to help students achieve their goals. As someone who has always struggled with learning disabilities, I have devised study habits and tricks that seemed to be helpful not only to my students, but also to me when I was preparing to take the NBCOT exam. I am confident with my background and passion to help people that I will be able to help you achieve your goal of passing the NBCOT exam!
