The NBCOT Comeback Guide: My 10-Step Method to Pass After Failing

Failed the NBCOT and have no idea what to do differently this time? I’ve been there.

I failed the NBCOT eight times before finally passing and becoming a licensed occupational therapist. I created The NBCOT Comeback Guide to share the strategies, study methods, mindset shifts, and lessons that helped me completely change the way I approached the exam.

Inside, I walk you through my 10-Step NBCOT Comeback Method, including how I chose study resources, used practice questions, reviewed rationales, built a flexible study plan, approached difficult questions, managed test-day anxiety, and stopped waiting to feel “100% ready.”

You’ll also get reflection prompts, planning tools, my favorite NBCOT resources, and an Exam-Day Survival Kit you can screenshot and use on test day.

This isn't a guarantee that you'll pass. It's the guide I wish I had when I was trying to figure out what to do next.
