“Every year we revisit what test prep we want to include for our incoming students, and we keep coming back to TherapyEd. I have used it for over seven years, and students continue to rave about how helpful it is. They feel more confident, more prepared, and less anxious going into boards. TherapyEd is truly a staple in our program.”

“Year after year, there continues to be more products and resources related to the NBCOT exam, but Therapy Ed remains one of my top favorites and I always suggest it to students whether I'm in class, speaking engagement or in the most recent event, OTAC conference presenting to students. Therapy Ed uniquely stands out for its ability to really challenge the students to improve their critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills, and I appreciate the opportunity to choose and utilize Therapy Ed book as the main (and the only) course textbook year after year. With the advancement in AI and other digital tools, I feel like students are relying more and more on instant feedback and quick results, but I think Therapy Ed forces you to slow down and really go through the necessary process of building your capacity to think and reason. All this to say, I love Therapy Ed!”

“TherapyEd’s prep course was a game changer for my NBCOT exam preparation. The resources gave me a great foundation for content review and the practice exams with rationales were extremely valuable resources. In addition, they educated on strategies for studying and test day to ensure I was prepared for the logistics of the exam. I would recommend TherapyEd resources and prep courses to any student getting ready to take the NBCOT!”
- Erin Kelly, OTR/L
“The TherapyEd course and book were crucial in helping me pass the NBCOT exa.”
- Chris Lee
“The most helpful part of the TherapyEd course was receiving the Review & Study Guide book, which was a great place to find concise information about a variety of topics and cross-reference with other study materials as needed. The prep class was helpful for getting me into the studying mindset as well. ”

“The TherapyEd course has been a vital asset to our student's preparation for NBCOT exam.”

“As a new OTD program, our faculty has been anxious and excited in anticipation for our inaugural cohort to meet all of their educational milestones with success. Then, this inaugural Class of 2021 was met with challenges, barriers, and delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We had always planned to integrate the Therapy Ed preparation course into our curriculum in the 8th semester as a component of the professional competency seminar. This course has learning outcomes around NBCOT exam preparation and professional transitions from student to practitioner. For this Class of 2021, these objectives became more important and challenging after experiencing delays in fieldwork and adjusting to hybrid communications and learning. Therapy Ed could not have been more accommodating and supportive. They were able to offer a virtual preparation course for our students on the timeline that worked best for all of them. There was flexibility for students who had a conflict and superb follow up from the staff and the course instructor. Our students reported back that the instructor was engaging, helpful, and seemed to truly care about their success. Therapy Ed and Dr. Fleming-Castaldy went above and beyond by scheduling an online “refresher” course for our students (and others) after they completed their Doctoral Capstone placements to review and prepare them for intensive exam studying. All of our inaugural graduates who took the exam in 2021 have passed on the first attempt and the rest of the cohort are showing great success as well! We look forward to a return to in-person Therapy Ed courses but feel confident that our students will be prepared in any format!”

“We are so appreciative of the support and resources at TherapyEd that begin with the personal contacts with the company, the instructors, and the quality and variety of resources they offer. The Office Hours is a great resource for students especially when they are out on their final Level II fieldwork.

Our students who take the course have found it extremely helpful and it seems to increase their confidence with the strategies they learn in the course and the study plans they create.

Personally, I also value the direct support to programs. I am learning more each year as I work with TherapyEd and receive the analysis of student performance on the practice exams and how we as a faculty can reflect and use the results to improve our program to better support student learning. Thank you!

“Taking the prep course was the absolute BEST thing for me. I took the NBCOT twice before finally investing in the course. The course taught me to not second-guess myself, to take my time, to look at key words and utilize the test-taking strategies and tips they offered. It's expensive but it's so worth it. I went into my exam the third time feeling so much more prepared and ready and I'm happy to say I passed my exam with flying colors. If you're wondering whether you should invest in the course or not this is your hint to DO IT! You won't regret it! Thank you TherapyEd!!”

“It exceeded my expectations! It was a great review and gave great hints and practice for multiple choice questions. The instructor was knowledgeable and very good at guiding the group!”
