An Occupational Therapist (OT) works with patients to improve their lives in working environments and more. The patients usually have some kind of issue, like a mental, physical, development, or emotional condition.
In order to become an OT, they must be attend a program accredited by Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) and then take a certificate exam, such as the NBCOT (National Board for Certification of Occupational Therapy). State requirements do vary, though, and many require an OT to continue some form of schooling after certification to ensure up-to-date knowledge.
A few books in preparation for the NBCOT have been recommended by registered Occupational Therapists. The first is Preparing for the Occupational Therapy National Board Exam: 45 Days and Counting. This book claims that it only takes 45 days of studying with this guide in order to pass the NBCOT. It has study questions, in-depth reviews, workbook pages, and a CD-ROM companion.
The second book is Occupational Therapy Examination Review Guide: Third Edition. This books helps identify your areas of weakness, and helps 
you improve them for the exam. There are reviews, explanations, and many other helpful tips for improving your ability to pass the NBCOT.
