Book Description

ISBN-10: 0803614810 | ISBN-13: 978-0803614819 | Publication Date: April 19, 2006 | Edition: 3rd

Tell your students to prepare for the computerized NBCOT OTR exam with the book that comes with a money-back guarantee that they will pass the test! Over 1,000 review questions in five practice examinations help them to identify areas of weakness and improve their test taking performance. The questions familiarize them with the format of the questions in the actual examination. "The key to passing the test is not only knowledge, but practicing taking multiple-choice questions, and these questions most closely match the ones on the exam. I think that this is the best exam review guide on the market." Paula Kramer, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA, University of the Sciences in Philadelphia "The greatest strength of these review questions is that there are so many questions rich in diverse material and that the questions are so similar to the questions on the actual exam. Additionally, the explanations help in correcting the reader if he/she is thinking on the wrong track. As a former student, I would have felt far more comfortable taking the test after having finished reviewing all these questions." Amy Perez, OTR/L, Graduate from Xavier University

5.0 out of 5 stars Just one caution, June 12, 2009

I agree with others who have offered high praise for this resource.

I've been out of the OT field for over 20 years and passed the NBCOT exam first time; I don't think I would have done it without this book.

Just one caution: The format of the NBCOT exam has changed since this book was published. It is not entirely different, but as of this year, it includes "simulation" questions that are extended case studies. This book will not help you prepare specifically for those, so you will need to use the resources NBCOT offers through its website.

(Also, the review tests in this book will not give you feedback on whether you would have passed the test. You can get that feedback, however, by taking the NBCOT practice exams on the web, which will give you your score.)

[Good luck, test takers!]

5.0 out of 5 stars Worked for me!, April 10, 2007

This review is from: Occupational Therapy Examination Review Guide, Third Edition (Paperback)

I thought this book was fantastic. I also bought the review study guide from the NBCOT website. I have a MAC computer and the CD that came with that book was not compatible with my computer. So I purchased this book so that I could practice taking the test by hand. I did not use the CD that came with this book either. The book was great! I first read & studied the book from the NBCOT website and then I moved to using this book to test my knowledge. When I took the real exam I felt that this book had really prepared me b/c the questions asked were similar in content and syntax. Someone said in a previous review that the 4th exam in this book had pulled questions from tests 1-3. That's true but it was probably less than 5 questions and in a 200 question exam I don't think skews the results enough to matter. Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Pleased, September 4, 2009

This review is from: Occupational Therapy Examination Review Guide, Third Edition (Paperback)

After my first failed attempt at the NBCOT exam, I sought out more study guides and came across this book and cd. After using this book (plus the NBCOT study guide book) I passed the second time and increased my score by almost 60 points higher than my previous attempt. The questions in this book seemed to be a little easier than the ones you find in the NBCOT study guide, but they better helped me to pick out key information in the questions and answers that I had been missing before. The cd was helpful as well because you can customize quizzes to content areas you feel weaker in. I thought this book was very helpful in my passing the second time around!
