NCTRC Study Tips

The last post was about NCTRC Application Tips so I figured now would be a good time to share some study tips and resources.

Tips:

• Create a study group! 
• Study a little each day
• Most importantly, TAKE PRACTICE EXAMS! This is what will make you feel most prepared for the exam
• Study the practice exams you took and look up any additional material that you have questions on
• Answer the question based on which model they are asking about, not how you would respond

Here is what I used to prepare for the exam:

• Notes from TR, psychology, and anatomy/physiology classes 
• These are Google Docs covering the four areas of the test:
• Fundamental Knowledge
• Practice of TR
• Organization of TR
• Advancement of the Profession
• Online Flashcards:

• http://quizlet.com/5034539/nctrc-flash-cards/ 
• http://www.flashcardmachine.com/nctrc-study-guide.html 
• Practice Test Questions
• Study Guide: this was created by a few professors and is a word document that will automatically open a download box
• Norma Stumbo's book - make sure the book is after 2007 because they made some changes to the test around this time.
• NCTRC Official Website - this is where they have information about the exam

What study aids did you use? What tips can you share for those preparing for the exam?
