  1. How to Reduce NBCOT® Test Anxiety

  2. Tips To Help Reduce NBCOT ®Test Anxiety • Feeling anxious prior to taking an exam is common. However, some individuals may have more difficulty managing test anxiety than others. Test anxiety may occur before, during, or even after a test. Reviewing for the NBCOT® exam is challenging and requires a lot of time and dedication. Knowing this may become overwhelming for some. If you find yourself feeling apprehensive before the NBCOT® exam, follow these 6 tips to help reduce test anxiety: • Make a study schedule • Reduce Distractions • Ask questions • Eat healthy • Exercise • Meditate

  3. How To Make a Study Schedule Preparing for the occupational therapy exam is not a question. You must prepare in order to succeed. However, before you take out all your review books and start studying, it is a good idea to develop a study plan first. Take the time to map out which chapters you will cover each day. This will help reduce your anxiety by allowing you to keep your studying organized. If you anticipate yourself needing more time on specific practice areas, give yourself a day or two extra between chapters. This strategy will eliminate the feeling of being rushed.

  4. How To Reduce Distractions Another way to reduce test anxiety for the NBCOT® exam is to study in a quiet area. Choosing to study in a coffee shop or somewhere public may set you up for failure. There is often a lot of noise and people around in these settings which may make you easily distracted. In order to find a quiet study environment, it is recommended to go to a local library or find a quiet area in your home. Prometrics offers noise cancellation head phones for you to wear during the NBCOT® exam. This helps to eliminate sounds in the room and reduce any interruptions.

  5. Ask Any Question The NBCOT® exam is a comprehensive exam which requires you to make clinical decisions across a wide scope of practice areas. Sometimes, your review books and practice tests do not paint the full picture in explaining a key concept. Therefore, it is a good idea to ask an occupational therapy colleague or expert for help or advice. Tutors for the NBCOT® exam offer great advice and are there to offer you any assistance you may need in order to set you up for success in passing the NBCOT® exam.

  6. Eat healthy and Do Exercise Did you know that your diet and eating habits can cause anxiety? Eating healthy is pertinent to success when preparing for the NBCOT® exam. Eating fried or junk foods while preparing for the NBCOT® exam can have a negative effect on your memory. If you experience brain fog and inability to concentrate, you may want to pay closer attention to your diet. Eating a well-balanced meal of protein, whole grains, and vegetables can significantly help in retaining information and concentration. Snack on fresh fruits and stay hydrated by drinking lots of water. These are all crucial for passing your boards and becoming an occupational therapist. Being physically active is another important factor towards reducing test anxiety. It is a good idea to take a study break to incorporate some type of exercise in your day. This can include walking for 30 minutes, practicing yoga, or strength training. Exercise is a good way to retain information.

  7. You Should Meditate One of the best ways to reduce test anxiety leading up to the NBCOT® exam is through meditation. Even if you do not know how to meditate or feel it is not for you, try to incorporate meditation into your daily routine. Whether you meditate first thing in the morning or during study breaks, meditating can help calm your nerves. Try closing your eyes and take deep breaths in and out. If you feel you cannot meditate on your own, try downloading a meditation app or looking up guided meditations online. Mentally preparing yourself for the NBCOT® exam is the key to succeeding. You must have a healthy mind and be able to clear all negative thoughts in order to pass the NBCOT® exam.
