I passed my NBCOT on my 4th attempt! Thank you Reddit for helping me, and moreover, thanks to the Lord Almighty and the powerful intercession of Mother Mary.

It was a huge struggle for me as an OT graduate from outside the USA. The 450 Formula, NBCOT Study Pack, AOTA PDFs, and OT Bestie tutoring really helped me, along with OT Miri and OT Rex on YouTube. Alt+J option really helped me to highlight.

Taking a small vacation to refresh my mind after my 3rd attempt made a huge difference. Guys, don't lose hope or faith in God. You will pass one day!

I’m studying for the NBCOT right now and I noticed a huge discrepancy between the official NBCOT study tools and the actual live testing interface. In the official NBCOT study tool, you click the highlight button once and it "locks" into highlight mode, letting you quickly click and select multiple non-consecutive words or phrases throughout the case scenarios. It's fast and streamlined. However, on the actual live exam interface, you have to click the highlight button manually every single time you want to select a new piece of text. Having to move your cursor back and forth to re-click the icon constantly is incredibly time-consuming and disruptive when you're under a strict timer.

Has anyone else faced this issue during their exam? Did you find a workaround, or did you leave feedback about it at the end?
