OT Knowledge Exam

Assess Your Students' OT Knowledge

The NBCOT Occupational Therapy Knowledge Exams (OTKE) are online, cohort-based tests designed exclusively for program directors to assist with analyzing students' performance related to the exam content outline.

The OTKE provides you with in-depth information about your student's performance in the following areas:

  • Percentage of items scored correctly by each student at each task level

  • Number of items scored correctly by each student across the whole test

  • Percentage of items scored correctly at the domain level by overall cohort group

For OT students, MOT and OTD programs have three OTKEs to choose from:

  • OTR Pre-Level II OTKE—A 100-item test with three- and four-option single-response multiple-choice items and six-option multi-select scenario sets.
  • OTR Post-Fieldwork OTKE—A 180-item test comprising three- and four-option single-response multiple-choice items and six-option multi-select scenario sets.
  • OTR End-of-Program OTKE—A 180-item test comprising three- and four-option single-response multiple-choice items and six-option multi-select scenario sets.

  • COTA Post-Fieldwork OTKE (NEW!)—A 100-item test containing three- and four-option single-response multiple-choice items and six-option multi-select items.
