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 PT and OT courses are each two full days. The PTA and OTA courses are one full day.

We recommend that students register 2 weeks or more 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 you a pdf of the manual so you have it for the course.

Yes, because you have already bought the Review & Study Guide you can register for the course at the less expensive “Course without Guide” price. This way you do not end up buying the book twice when you take the course.

Because the FSBPT and NBCOT (the licensing and certification bodies) do not release the exams there is no way to precisely correlate the TherapyEd practice exams to the actual exams. 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.

E-Books can be accessed through the TherapyEd website by clicking on the “E-Book” link at the top of the page, next to the shopping cart. You’ll be using the award-winning VitalSource eReader with built-in study tools including highlighting, definitions, text-to-speech, flashcards, note-sharing, and more. Your E-Book can be accessed with a computer, tablet, or phone.

We post all current courses on the website and we are always adding new courses as they are confirmed. If you cannot find an on-campus course near you, then you can take one of our live ONLINE courses. These courses appear on our course listing page. In addition, if you would like to set up an on-campus course, you can email us at info@TherapyEd.com and we can work to organize one near you.

Our exam-specific programs are built to help students focus their time, track progress, and prepare with trusted TherapyEd materials.
