Common mistakes students make when they don't pass

Because we have helped so many students who could not pass, many who have exhausted all the other study preps including AOTA® Online, NBCOTOAspire, Therapy Ed, the Purple Book, and True Learn we have seen the mistakes that students constantly make when they don't pass. They are listed below:

  • Having blind spots in their understanding of the
    material
  • Being overwhelmed by too much study material and not knowing the proper material to study
  • Relying on study material test scores that don’t actually reflect true performance on the exam
  • Not being organized and focused in their
    studying
  • Using studyi material that does not fit best to their learning style
  • Trying to memorize questions/answers instead of understanding the clinical applications behind the questions,
  • Doing the same thing as before and hoping for different
    result
  • Not recognizing the actual costs of not
    passing

Our System

To overcome these mistakes that we so many students make, we have built our study prep around a system or formula. Although there are other companies today that are offering tutoring, quizzes, or study material, they do not have a real, proven system. It is this system that makes studying much easier and efficient without being overwhelming yet provides our members with pinpoint accuracy in mastering the material that they need to know in order to pass. It is also this system that makes us so effective and allows us to continue to produce extraordinary results and help students pass time and time again. A summary of our system is on the next page.

You should the rationale behind your wrong answers first. If you get a question wrong, think about why the answer is correct and how the other answer

Often, students tend to study over and over and continually get the same test score. This happens when a student is not mastering the material they need to and may be missing something.
