Free eBooks Occupational Therapy Examination Review Guide, Third Edition Available To Downloads
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

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!]
I worked through all 800 questions and then attempted the NBCOT online practice test and was shocked at the difference in questions. The 1 line and straight-forward questions in this study guide do not prepare a person for the clinical reasoning required for NBCOT questions, and I felt like I had just wasted 2 weeks of study time on this guide. I bought the Rita Fleming study guide after this one and feel it is a much better study guide with more challenging questions, and best of all has a thorough review of information included with the study guide.
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!
Despite the fact that this was published over 10 years ago, it was by far the most helpful resource for preparing for the NBCOT exam taken in March of 2015! I used the AOTA online test prep, TheraEd and the questions on the CD accompanying this Review Guide. The questions on the actual exam most closely resembled those on the CD coming with this book! When loading the CD, the program looks online for "updates" and seemed to pull in more test questions (I'm not sure if it somehow took away outdated questions). The explanations for the answers were also extremely helpful...more so than other test preps used. Citations for answers are provided in the answers, so you are able to take note of whether the information is outdated. For the most part, the only questions I stayed away from were those on Standards of practice. I passed on my first attempt...thank you Johnson, Lorch and DeAngelis!
Good things-1) These books covers many questions from different domains. It gives a lot of information and its references.It was definitely helpful in passing exam for the first time.2) This is a good book for starting exam preparation.Not so good things-1) Questions are simple and straight forward. Exam questions are not so easy.So do not evaluate yourself based on this book.2) Questions are repetitive in CD and booklet.3) CST questions are not included in the book. Hope this helps.
I used this book and the Therapy Ed review. This one does not cover any of the clinical simulations, but the MC questions give you plenty of practice over wide content areas. Yes, the questions are far easier than Therapy Ed's practice exams [but those are ridiculously specific at times and not quite reflective of NBCOT levels]. I gained some extra confidence doing these questions, and the immediate on screen rationales were great study tools. It seems like the CD of practice exams is similar to 45 Days and Counting but I did not use that book. This book is primarily questions, no content review like in Therapy Ed, so you should not use this resource by itself. It's a great test practice tool. The electronic format of the tests was much user- friendlier than Therapy Ed [you had to always refer back to the paper book for rationales], with this one, you could look at rationales on the same screen. You can customize the quizzes in variety of ways for shorter study session or to simulate the 170 Questions of the real exam.
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!
