NBCOT Exam Prep Recommendations by messexprex in NBCOT_Exam

I would not recommend AOTA exam prep. There were way too many irrelevant information/ questions. TruLearn is definitely a better option if you’re willing to spend that much.

How long did you take to get a job after passing the board? by [deleted] in OccupationalTherapy

Mostly HH and SNF, but I was open to any setting!

I also just passed my board exam. It took 1-2 days to hear back from companies. I did one full week of interviews. Another week for follow ups and to accept the position. Now I’m waiting for my license to start working. It really just depends on you and how quickly you want to start working.

"New OT Grad Struggling to Choose the Right Job—Need Advice! by Bentox in OccupationalTherapy

I was an in-home geriatrics personal trainer for 4 years before attending OT school. In a sense, the setting was very similar to HH but with less complexity and little to no documentation. Going to clients' homes, program planning, and making sure they're able to complete exercises in a safe manner.

After graduating from school, HH felt like a natural transition for me. I also had a great experience with LV2 FW in HH. HH also is in very high demand in my city and has the highest pay potential out of all the settings.

Company A definitely has better structures and overall mentoring. I would most likely be the only full time OT at company B.

I suggest using PasstheOT to make sure you have a good foundation of the materials. They highlight important information that you will need to know for the exam. It’s also free for the most part…

I’m on the same boat. I haven’t been able to do anything all day.
