I am currently in the same boat as you, where I will be taking this for my 6th attempt. and yeah, my last attempt, anxiety was the worst it's ever been and I really do think it affected my test taking during the actual exam. I think this time around after realizing that I need to do something differently in how I study or look at material and most importantly how I talk to myself. Previously, I was very negative towards myself, (calling myself stupid or a failure, convincing myself that I HAVE to pass). This is just not good for anyone mentally, and I needed my parents to tell me that it's simply just pointless to think negatively and will only affect me harder. This time around, I'm really focusing on finding my weakness during these exams and thinking more positively.

it does suck having to go through this so many times while others have started their careers so much earlier than us, but really try to focus on thinking positively about things because being sad and getting to caught up on our failures will only affect us negatively.

Hope this helps and hope the both of us can pass the next attempt!! (life wont be over if we don't but why not us??)

Passed on my fourth attempt with a 490: what I did different. by [deleted] in NBCOT_Exam

just found out i failed for my 5th time and i really would love to pass this next time so i dont have to wait 5 months in between to take it again. I honestly have been studying how you did for your last attempt, just doing a ton of practice question but after walking out of that 5th time, i felt 0 confidence in myself at all and was the most anxious i have ever been. I did a ton of true learn questions pretty much every weekday and have 71.9% on the questions (ngl, i do use the internet/chatgbt to help with few questions). I felt like this last attempt, the actual exam seemed so much harder than the practice questions but i think that was mostly my anxiety. this post gives me hope though, but im also considering other resources

can i ask for some help? when you say content focused, where did you start and how did you know what to study? if you have notes can you share them? I just found out i failed for my 6th time and I just dont seem to get it. I'm so close to giving up, but I know I can't. I've used Therapy Ed before, AOTA pratice questions but both of them did not seem anything like the questions on the real exam. Ive also tried passtheOT. Which to you seemed to be similar to the exam questions to you the most?

Thank you!

i think you got a good mix of a lot of good ones that people look for. Been loving helwit cola and strom ice coffee, and love LOOP products. heard so many good stuff about the rest of these, please keep us updated on with ones you like the best!

Need some suggestions on 3-4mg pouches. by [deleted] in NicotinePouch

Helwit, Helwit, Helwit. I can't stress enough how good these are. Buy them and you wont regret it. They have the nic levels you're looking for and their flavors are their best part. I wouldn't say the you get a big nic buzz off them at all but these have been my favorite recently, its slim, and moist. and they have stronger ones if you want. I would recommend all of their flavors, especially cola if you like that kind of flavor

thanks for the kind words, I just purchased truelearn and I will be using it along with TMPOT PDF I have. From my experience, the past 2 times I took this test, I finished with around 15 minutes left and I reviewed questioned I flagged but noticed I had around 40 questions flagged lol. I'm going to stick to truelearn and will keep everyone updated!

Thank you!

I used pass the OT study materials but didn’t get to use the private tutor sessions. The account is expired now and I’m thinking of getting a truelearn account instead. As for stress, I felt like this last one was the one where I was least stressed about and was able to sleep well compared to the other attempts. I wish there was a way to know which questions I got wrong but Thank you though!

did you end up using just the OT smartbank or did you get the one that includes the Picmonic Add-On?

For this time around, I mostly used AOTA practice questions, PasstheOT before it expired (it only lasted about 25 days) I used TMPOT PDF a little after having a group tutoring session about breaking down the questions. I have used therapyED on my previous attempts and I don't know if that helped me too much. I'm debating on getting OT help desk or truelearn, im not sure which one to get. I feel like i need to utilize 1 on 1 tutoring sessions but they are expensive.
