I saw Sowmya had put up for a Book Sale, i wish to get Rita. Fleming from you. please tell me about the edition .Can anyone suggest me with a plan of how to begin my preparation for OTR?Thanx in advance for anyone who come up and share..

Hye Rashmi,

 

I am from S.R.M coll. WEll, the exam was quite different thatn the ones ni simulated CDs. The nbcot prep guide isnt enough to prepare. They have added few more topic to the sylabus and the questions were more concentrated..

I have few CDs but they are no way near to the exam standards! Not even the nbcot prep cd sampler! Hve u got the 2007 nbcot prep guide? Yes, i followed the fleming's!!

 

The questions were more on Spinal injuries, approach oriented qs, much focu were on treatment and eval than on documntn and basics. A question has two conditions ni a single patient, asesment revealing a problem and pt needs his need prioritised for Rx. wchih would be approp!!These were the kinds most times.Very few were direct and moderate to answer!!

 

I am in chennai and if things goes well should leave U.S.So, which batch are u? Who do u know in S.R.M?

 

Where ar u now? Are u working? Have u filed ur H1B?

Dont worry about that online exam & scoring less...it don't meant that in final exam you'll score less.Do not realy on that exam..passing that exam dont mean that you will pass the actual exam..many of my frends failed to reach score in online exam & still able to clear actual exams...& many could pass the online but failed to reach that score in actual exam.So never let go ur confidenece down.Just keep paracticing the questions as many as possible.And if possible try to write down all difficult Q.& the we can try to solve it in forum...try to get better rationals for each Q.I do have many Q.'s that i'll post online soon,then try to give best answer possible with better rationals.Lets do study in groups...lets discuss topics..which you find more difficult to understand...so that way we can make our foundation strong.Pls.let me know if u wanna ask me any kind of Q.Or let me know about this idea?

 

 

ya, i even took 2 purchased practice test from NBCOT online test, my score is always around 366..this just reduced my level of confidence..and i just don know how to start back in my preparations....just few couple of weeks left..

 

 

 

hello Sam,

Good Luck for ur result..dont loose ur hope...u never know may be u pass...so dont think negativley unless u find ur result.Post ur Q's what u find difficult to answer....so we all can have good reasoning skill.Good Luck!! again.

Hi Rashmi,

 

In response to the e mail i had sent to NBCOT the director has replied stating no new sylabus were added nor did the exam pattern has changed. They have only done an analysis of exisitng practice!! But, that doesn't affect the exam sylabus!!

 

NBCOT has published the new NBCOT prep guide 2007 Edition and has added test taking strategies ,adult learning that would help to prepare. The new guide is to take much time to reach you after you order!!

 

Me in India, is gonna take much time to get it purchased!! Would be good if someone can send the sample prep exams thro mail!! I havefew other practice CDs.If someone is interested can e mail me to samdav7@hotmail.com

 

Watchout guys!!! There are many fake nbcot prep guides in the market! Dont get cheated!!Many clear majorly by getting the original nbcot guide.

So, keep going!!!

And, sorry folks its been quite some time I visited this forum!!

 

Regards,

 

sam
