A free online course to help occupational therapy students prepare* for the NBCOT® Exam.
Hi there! Thank you again for enrolling in this free course. Please take the time to read this message before you start reviewing.
Let me introduce myself as this is likely your first time being exposed to me and content. 🙂
My name is Jeff and I am a licensed occupational therapist. NBCOT Exam Prep was actually not my first project for professional OT content. I started OT Dude anonymously to provide free resources for students and practitioners as a general blog, reference guide, rehab calculators, and salary database. Although there were some great NBCOT Exam Prep resources already, there was a large gap in updated content. Around the same time that I revealed my identity is when I started creating more NBCOT Exam content to help students review for the boards.
Please take the time to review the actual responses after each quiz as there will be rationales, explanations, and feedback – just like how you should review these in the back of the book of your study guides. Due to a software limitation, some questions, e.g., matching, that contain multiple parts cannot be automatically scored. For these, click View Questions to review each individual answer.
I 100% respect your time. I know you have other choices when it comes to NBCOT Exam review materials – both free and paid. So I truly appreciate you for giving me a chance to help you review for the NBCOT exam. If you have seen my other content, you know that I regularly create high-quality content for the OT community. I spent a lot of time researching, creating, editing, reviewing, and updating this course.
I strive to make the study guides and videos as concise and short as possible, but due to the nature of some of the subject matter, some content may require more of your time, such as videos. Feel free to skip ahead of skim these. My goal is to over-prepare you instead of under.
The last is to please not compare me to other established resources, like NBCOT or AOTA. When I was studying for the boards, I didn’t have as many resources as you all these days, and many were out of my financial reach – which may be the case for some of you as well. I don’t have a full team behind me like the NBCOT or AOTA. And even they have made mistakes from time to time, e.g., in their answers and rationales.
There are already thousands enrolled and many review it every day. I have had nothing but overall positive feedback for this course. I regularly get messages from students who have used my content and passed the boards with this resource.
Some of you may already know that running and maintaining a website not only requires hard work and time but can actually cost a lot as well.
My last bill for web hosting alone was well over $1000!
So please consider joining the Club to directly support this project. Thank you to all of you who have provided positive feedback, donated, or purchased my other services and products.
If you found my content helpful, I would also much appreciate it if you mention OT Dude in the AOTA Exam Prep Facebook Group.
Good luck, take care of yourselves, and wishing you the best in your studies and on the board exam!
