Just wanted to share some exciting news: I received my diploma and... I PASSED THE NBCOT EXAM! My hands were literally shaking when I found out. First, I told my mom who then told the rest of my family. They're all so proud! :D
Honestly, this was the toughest exam that I ever had to take. I had no idea if I passed or not after taking it. Fortunately, the TherapyEd review course plus Rita Fleming-Castaldy's book were sufficient in preparing for it.
After I took the exam, I paid for AOTA's NBCOT online exam prep. I thought it couldn't hurt to expect the worst should I need to retake the exam. Since I passed, this is still an excellent resource with hundreds of practice questions and detailed explanations.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I have so much to be grateful for this year! :)
