I’m scheduled to take my 4th attempt on the 16th. I restructured my way of studying for this thing. Working with a tutor, and have been using the NBCOT study pack practice tests to break them up into 20 questions a day.

Then I read chapters in Pedretti’s textbook and the TMPOT study guide to reinforce my understanding on topics that I don’t really understand . Then I end my sessions with 10-15 minutes review of the OTPF. Also do some active recall on weak topics as well.
So far four weeks in, I’m understanding the questions a little better and plan to take the full 180 practice on Monday. Hopefully everything transfers over to the real thing. I’m in need of a win 🤞🏾

How effective is OT help desk? Is it worth the money? After three attempts, I’m looking for successful outcome at this point.

Prepping for attempt #4 of this exam. What new strategies should I implement? Should I renew True Learn? Or invest in another question bank?

Well failed again. Really don’t know how else to approach this thing.
Attempt 1: 419
Attempt 2: 423
Attempt 3: 421
After every attempt, I upgraded my resources as well too.
Attempt 1: NBCOT study pack, TrueLearn, OT Miri, OT Exam prepper podcast
Attempt 2: NBCOT study pack, True Learn, 450 Formula, OT Exam prepper podcast, TMPOT study pack
Attempt 3: NBCOT study pack, True Learn, OT Exam prepper podcast, OT Bestie podcast, 450 Formula, TMPOT Study pack, Tutoring with OT Helpline.

Do not know what else to do.

I ended up postponing my original test date July 8th. Having second thoughts. My current stats as of July 7th.
True Learn: 72.6%
Full practice Exam: 454
Scenario based: 427
I postponed because I felt like I wasn’t hitting enough active recall on certain topics as much as I should’ve. But maybe I’m overthinking. Maybe I should’ve left it for the 8th.

I’m taking my third attempt at this exam on Thursday. For the past month I have been heavily using True Learn questions for my rationale which I currently have a 73%. Did tutoring as well this time around too. Any last minute tips?

Has anyone passed the NBCOT with a TrueLearn score less than the national average? I believe it’s 68%. I don’t know indicative it is with the actual exam but just curious to know.

Preparing to take my third attempt next Thursday. Currently have a 74% on TrueLearn questions, utilized tutoring sessions from OT helpline with Alex (he said I’m ready). I had 450 formula during my second attempt but it expired, I still have the notes though. Need to get this over with already.

I won’t lie, I took my second attempt today and I do not feel good about it at all. This time around I didn’t change my answers and finished with 2 minutes to spare but the questions just overall felt extremely difficult. I feel like I studied enough and made 450 formula my best friend for the past month but I walked out of there with no confidence at all. I’m mentally preparing to register for a third attempt but stranger things have happened. Stay tuned..
