"MYTH:
“You need to score 75% to pass the NBCOT® exam.”
TRUTH:
You must earn a scaled score of 450 to pass—NOT a percentage score.
NBCOT® does not use percentage-based scoring. Instead, it uses a scaled score between 0 - 600
What this means for you:
You are not aiming for 75%—you are aiming for 450.
Multi-select items for OTA and clinical scenario sets for OT give partial credit, so every accurate selection matters.
Also, make sure to answer ALL questions, no answer means no points.
Keep your focus on understanding concepts, applying clinical reasoning, and using strategies—not chasing a misleading percentage.

Happy President’s Day!

Leadership, perseverance, and service are values we celebrate today—and the same values show up every day in occupational therapy. OTs and OTAs lead with purpose, advocate for others, and help individuals participate fully in the occupations that matter most.

As you prepare for the NBCOT® exam, remember:
* Progress takes persistence
* Confidence is built over time
* Small, consistent steps lead to big outcomes

Stay focused on your goals—your future patients, clients, and communities are counting on you.

Study with Purpose

Don’t just study to finish a chapter.
Study to understand why.

When you review content, ask yourself:
✔️ Can I explain this out loud?
✔️ Can I apply this to a clinical scenario?
✔️ Can I eliminate wrong answer choices confidently?

Purposeful studying transforms passive reading into active learning — and that’s what builds the deep understanding needed for NBCOT success.

Be intentional. Be strategic. Study smarter.
