You are wonderful Timisha! I shared the exact same thought process going into my fieldwork placements, where I loved the idea of geriatric care, and had an aversion to pediatrics. Funny enough, I also shared the same experience, where I ended up warming up to peds, though I still don't want to do it as a career. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to walk us through the process of taking the exam an breaking everything down so beautifully. I am a new OTA grad and am going to be taking my exam in about 6 weeks, so these little tips and tidbits help A LOT.
She is right in that you have to break down the question. And memorizing everything is not the right way to study for this test I know I failed it twice trying to memorize. Thinking critically, like a COTA is what they're looking for. Thanks for the great vid!
I have been struggling with the OTA exam. I'm so afraid to take it again. This is my 5th time. Have anyone heard or use OT help. Thank you for the video. I will try my best to follow this video. If you have any other videos please share

@@Studywithacota Thank you. I'm going to start studying April 1. I'm going to review all your material. Do you know anything about OT Help? Thank you again.
This is very helpful. Thank you. I have graduated 9 years ago as a OTA. I wanted to do my NBCOTA exam this year. Can you please do more video with sample questions. thank you.
Forearm based thumb spicas (aka long opponens splint) are usually for radial nn injuries/distal radial fractures. Skiiers thumb only involves the thumb IP/MC joint so no need to involve the wrist. Remember, best practice is to pick the splint that allows the MOST function of the uninvolved parts, so going conservative while maintaining protection of the involved joint is client-centered.
