  1. I bought 2 text books 3 weeks before I took the exam and Johnson 4 days before the exam. All of them are in brand new condition and I did not highlight/mark on them! I plan to sell them on ebay 15-25% less than the cost price. All of them are in excellent condition and are the latest editions with CD roms
  2. Hello again! I have been getting mails from some of you regarding books, and strategies so I thought I will post it here for the benefit of anyone who might need Books - Latest editions of Caryn Johnson, Rita Cotrell, and Karen Slaydek. They come with computer disks and simulated examinations Planned to take the exam after 6 months of study but did not work that way. Kept on postponing till I woke up to take 3 weeks off from work and study and give exam. Read Rita Cotrell chapter by chapter based on the important chapters first (Human Aging, Neuro, Splints, Wheel chair) and taking notes. Every night did 50 questions from the simulated exams from Slaydek and Cotrell. Performed pretty poor initially( dont let that slow you down!) and went back and reviewed the weak areas. By the end of 2nd week somehow got the essence of how to read the questions and answer and also get the important facts that are repetitive. Third week stopped all studying (covered only 75%!) and did Caryn Johnson and reviewed the areas. Took the exam and got a pretty good score. NBCOT questions were always focussed on the BEST, MOST, FIRST in the questions so be on the watch! to read the questions. These tests prepare for that. Also remember the scoring is scaled which means the majority of those who answered get the highest score so the probability of us passing with our knowledge is high! Hope this helps for preparing the tests and taking it. Good Luck
  3. Ladies, The NBCOT is closed until Jan 3. I had called them earlier with the number posted on their web site around the 16, 17th and they were taking calls and mentioned that they will be off from the 21st. As regards the text books Rita Cotrell, Caryn Johnson and Slaydek are the ones I used to prepare. I thought I would sit down plan and take the test but could not do so and went heads on with the study guides going chapter by chapter from Cotrell. Taking the simulated tests helps to focus on areas that need review. Taking all the tests from these books help to understand the test questions and answer the best possible answer. Some ( arthritis OA, RA, fractures. Learn about the types of groups for different conditions. couple of questions on wheel chair measurements, adaptations for geriatric population, ADA. Hope this helps!
