Preface
The intent of this examination guide is to provide a means for strategically preparing for the certification examination. It is important for students to not only understand how the certification examination works, but to implement a plan of action that encompasses review of materials and organization of information into coherent themes or categories, and also to become familiar with test-taking strategies to optimize their performance and test scores. This text is organized to reflect questions in four categories: (1) evaluation, (2) intervention planning, (3) intervention, and (4) administration and service management. This format was selected because these categories are among the major areas that are addressed on the national certification examination for occupational therapy. These areas also are major constructs in comprehending the progression and application of the occupational therapy process. Although each chapter has a central focus, there is a mixture of questions that spans a wide array of diagnoses, populations, and practice settings. While some basic knowledge may be tested, the main idea is for the student to apply knowledge in making rational and good decisions that guide practice.
This text serves as a resource for study purposes only. It is not intended to be the sole source of information or to substitute for other necessary resources, such as course lectures, course textbooks, skilled competencies, and theoretical foundational knowledge, which are all essential to prepare for the certification examination. It may help to identify strengths and areas of need so that the student can focus on a viable plan to prepare for the examination. References used in this text were selected primarily from sources or textbooks that have been identified as being frequently used in occupational therapy educational settings. However, a few references may differ because they provided the best support and rationale to the question. A bibliography is located at the end of the textbook and can provide additional resources from which to study.

CHAPTER 1 Examination Preparation
When preparing for a board examination, the most effective approach is to closely simulate the behavior you will eventually be required to perform. Advance preparation for the examination is essential and requires both physical and mental stamina and practice. One should practice taking tests in a couple of ways: without accessing your notes to test your knowledge and retention and answering new questions about the same or similar information.
MULTIPLE CHOICE EXAMINATIONS
The national certification examination for occupational therapy is made up of multiple choice questions. Multiple-choice questions generally consist of three parts: (1) a stem, which asks a question, poses a problem, or presents an incomplete sentence; (2) normally one correct answer; and (3) a number of “distracters” or alternatives among which the correct answer is listed. The national certification exam will have four distracters including the correct answer and three likely, but incorrect alternatives. When taking the examination, one should read the question carefully, and then read all the choices before selecting the answer. In some instances, people find it helpful to read the question along with each distracter.
BLOOM’S TAXONOMY
Think of which level in Bloom’s Taxonomy the test is addressing. Most questions on the national certification examination are written at the application level, meaning that the test taker will need to have basic knowledge and comprehension of the concepts that are being tested and be able to generalize to new situations. The taxonomy is categorized into six levels: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation (see Table ).
Level Explanation Question Cues Knowledge Observation and recall of information, understanding major ideas and topics List, define, tell, describe, identify, show, label, collect, examine, tabulate, quote, name, who, when, where, etc. Comprehension Understand, interpret information, translate into new context, infer causes and predict consequences Summarize, describe, interpret, contrast, predict, associate, distinguish, estimate, differentiate, discuss, extend Application How information methods, concepts, and theories used to problem solve are in new situations Apply, demonstrate, calculate, complete, illustrate, show, solve, examine, modify, relate, change, classify, experiment, discover Analysis Recognizing patterns and underlying meanings and identifying components Analyze, separate, order, explain, connect, classify, arrange, divide, compare, select, explain, infer Synthesis Using old ideas to create new ones, generalizing facts,
