Frequently Asked Questions
What to know before starting OTR® exam prep.
From choosing the right exam prep program to
understanding practice tests, study tools, and the AI Learning Assistant, these answers help students begin with confidence.
The OTR® Prep Course is two full days, offered both live online and on-campus. Sign-in starts at 8:00am with the course beginning at 8:30am — see the full agenda in the Prep Course tab above.
We recommend that students register 2 weeks prior to the course date for both In Person and Online courses. This allows us to better estimate the number of Course Manuals to provide for distribution at class or to ship to your home. If necessary, you can register up to the day or two before the course, however we cannot guarantee there will be enough Course Manuals available; in this case, we’ll send a pdf to your email so you receive it for the course.
Yes — because you already own the Review & Study Guide you can register for the course at the less expensive “Course without Guide” price, so you don’t end up buying the book twice. This is true even if you bought the book somewhere other than TherapyEd.
Because the NBCOT® (the certification body) does not release the exam, there is no way to precisely correlate the TherapyEd practice exams to the actual exam. Regardless of your score on the first practice test, the goal of these tests is to improve your score with each take. We give you the tools to learn test-taking skills and identify your areas of weakness, to best prepare you for exam day.
