Prepare for Your Exam with NBCOT Aspire Study Tools


Preparation and a Plan are Essential

Like many candidates, as you aspire to reach your certification goal, you are probably wondering, “How can I best prepare for the NBCOT® certification exam?” With the numerous options available, deciding which study tools to use can be a challenge. Should you use a study guide, practice test, flashcards, discussion groups, social media, school notes, specific texts, or lists and facts? Or will using a combination of all of these be most beneficial?

Well, unfortunately, there is no magic answer! Ultimately, you are the only person who can make that decision, taking into consideration your personal learning style, current academic strengths and weaknesses, clinical fieldwork experiences, and resources. One thing is for certain, however: following a realistic and well-planned study schedule can help you feel more prepared for the certification exam.

The NBCOT Aspire tools are one option that may fit your needs.

NBCOT's Aspire study tools are designed using the validated domain, task, and knowledge statements on which the certification exams are based.
