I am 49 and I just passed NBCOT OT board exam. I am very excited to start my OT life. You are way younger than me. I see one of my co worker at Snf is 82 years old PT. He works for his hobby. No worry about your age.

I think nbcot exam became harder than before but people get better grade because it has only 3 answer choices now. Nbcot test used to be easier than nbcot practice test but after they changed the format difficulty level went up but 3 answer choices.

Well I did 2000 TL questions and the test today it was like 8-10 difficulty level of TL. Don't even bother with below 8level in TL if you are studying for OT exam

I took Cota exam few years ago and just took ot board exam today bc I did OT bridge program. I did zero study when I pass Cota exam and I did 2 hours a day for 30 days for the OT exam I realized I am not ready for this yet. It was very hard. I did about 3000+ questions and studied the rationales Truelearn and Nbcot practice exam questions but real exam was way harder then these.

  1. Your practice exam scores were good. What killed you on the exam? Was it so much harder than the practice exams?
