I plan to use Pass the OT with all future cohorts. Graduates expressed they found Pass the OT beneficial because of the recorded lectures and mini tests at the end of each module. Students were able to assess their current knowledge and skills to track their studying progress. In essence, the modules are effective in their application of clinical reasoning skills.Read More Show less

I absolutely want to get the plan again this upcoming summer. The previous cohort of students had only positive things to say about the Pass the OT Exam Prep Study Course. The modules are highly effective and interactive, and the student tracking feature was very beneficial in ensuring students were staying on track within the modules. I honestly feel like you truly care about the success of my students and you have been extremely helpful and caring to me.Read More Show less

The feedback I received from the students was awesome! They enjoyed the small group environment and Tutor Jessica did a fantastic job guiding them. My students were very shy in the beginning but towards the middle and end, they were engaging so well. I give credit to Tutor Jessica for her patience and her ability to get the students engaged. I think the students had a wonderful experience. I know for sure a student who attended, passed her test. So, YAY! A couple of the students are planning to take it this month and early next month. So, I am hoping we receive good news soon. We at Panola College appreciate you all for taking the time to support our students.Read More Show less

Pass the OT has become our go-to NBCOT® exam prep course for our OTA students. The folks at Pass the OT have consistently provided quality, value, and ease-of-use for me as a program director and, more importantly, for our students. Their asynchronous, self-paced learning virtual platform fits perfectly into the busy schedules of our students. The program director portal allows me to monitor student progress. The learning modules, assessments and options for tutoring allows students to utilize resources that meet their individualized learning needs and preferences. And the 9-month subscription enables me to enroll students during their final semester when we can support their initial engagement, and allows continued access long after graduation until their take the NBCOT® exam.Read More Show less

The OTA program incorporated PassTheOT (PTOT) as a study tool for our capstone course that focuses on studying for the NBCOT exam a few years ago. I'm excited to report that not only did we increase our overall pass rate by 13%, but our first-time test takers passage rate has also increased by more than 40%! Students save a ton of time and money by using PTOT. Highly recommended.Read More Show less

I like that Pass the OT allows me to assign board preparation to students as they are learning the material. I also like that there are questions that can be given on just the material or over a larger area. I also like that we can give the students this program over a year so that they feel like they have a longer time to study. We evaluate the board preparation program based upon student pass rates, student feedback, and practice tests we give the students.Read More Show less
