The Cota Examination Review Guide [With CD-ROM]

Good book but did not include the CD, which was in the title.

This was one of the best review books I used. The format was identical to the OTA board exam, and some of the questions were even the same! What was most helpful to me was the fact that it gave the reasoning behind the answers, so when I missed a question, I could get an explanation why. There is also a CD in the back of the book to take a test on the computer to simulate the actual testing experience. And, yes, I passed the exam the first try!!!

This is an invaluable tool that enables the student to take 5 different exams (200 questions each) to practice their comprehensive test taking knowlege in this specialty field. It provides tips to take and study for the test, as well as answers at the end of each exam that thuroughly explain the right answer, as well as, if not more importantly, the wrong ones too. Because questions are often based on "the most right" answer", they tend to be quite tricky and this book helps enormously to learn how to best decipher the line of thinking behind each question. The CD ROM is a great addition to the book, such that it allows the user to take a computerized version of the test, that will mimic the actual test administered, so you're fully prepared on how things will go the day you take the 4 hour examination. I would highly recommend this book to any OTA student who wants to be confident in their ability to pass the exam the first time. It's definitely a worthwhile investment in their future as a COTA.

The COTA Exam Review Guide is a great resource for preparing to take the NBCOT exam. The CD alone makes this a great purchase. It times you, so you know how well you can pace. Every answer has a rational for why the answer is what it is, no guessing! I definitely recommend this book.

This book was a worthy investment. Before having purchased this book I was unsure of how well I would perform on the COTA certification exam. What I liked most about the book was how each answer was provided w/an explanation of why the correct answer was correct and why the other answers were incorrect. The five practice tests really helped me to narrow down my weak areas. I feel this is a superb study guide and would highly recommend this review!

In my opinion, this is an excellent review guide. I purchased it my last quarter as a student and I am so glad I did. Nothing could have prepared me more than this book. I took all 5 practice tests and was amazed by the results. Not only does the book give the partcipant the correct answers but it also gives you the reason why the answer is true and why the other choices are incorrect. If that is not enough, it gives you the references in which you can find that information and/or additional information on that topic. This review guide was a quick and easy way to find out what areas I needed more help with and where I could find that information before taking the COTA exam. What a great investment!
