Studying for the NBCOT exam? #CertifiedOTR Justin shares his secret to retaining information: Study for an hour, then take a 10-20 minute break to recharge—whether it's a walk, a snack, or a quick scroll through your phone. Balance is key to retaining information and staying focused. #OccupationalTherapy #NBCOTCertificationMatters

Wise words from #CertfiedOTR Annsu: Dive deep into one topic at a time! With OT's vast scope, a focused study plan is key. Break it down, conquer each section, and watch your confidence soar! "Focus on one topic at a time- there is a whole lot that encompasses OT so breaking it down into sections and having a specific study plan to implement into your routine truly goes a long way!" #OccupationalTherapy #NBCOTCertificationMatters
