Seton Hall UniversityThank 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 againRead MoreShow less

OTR®/L A.T. Still UniversityWOW. 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® exam 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 processRead MoreShow less

OTR®/L Western Michigan. Univ.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® exam , 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 confidenceRead MoreShow less

COTA® St Catherine UniversityI 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 an... nd 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 youRead MoreShow less

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.
