📋 About the real exam
- Who runs the exam
- The Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) certification examination is administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT), the national certification body for occupational therapy in the United States. State licensure is a separate step handled by your state.
- Format
- 190 items in a timed four-hour, computer-based exam taken in person at a Pearson test center. Items include three- and four-option single-response multiple-choice items and standalone six-option multi-select items where you select three options. Some items are unscored field-test items.
- Current content outline
- The 2022 COTA Examination Content Outline, in effect since January 2, 2024, has three domains: Collaborate and Gather Information (27%), Select and Implement Interventions (55%), and Uphold Professional Standards and Responsibilities (18%).
- Scoring
- Scores are reported on a 300 to 600 scale, and a total scaled score of at least 450 is required to pass. The standard is criterion-referenced, not a fixed percentage of items.
- How many people take it
- A candidate count for the COTA examination was not published in the sources consulted for this edition, so this app does not print one. See NBCOT for current certification information.
- Results
- NBCOT issues your official result and certification. This app cannot predict or influence your result, and practice scores here are study feedback only.
Fees, formats and rules change — always confirm the final details on the official exam site before you apply.

Questions
- Is this the official exam?
- No. These are original practice questions in a study app. 3H TestPrep apps are study aids with original practice questions. They are not official exams, are not affiliated with any testing organization or government agency, and do not provide or replace any required education, training, or certification.
- Is it a subscription?
- No. One payment of $49 and it is yours to keep — no expiry, nothing renews. The only time-limited product we sell is the All-Access Pass (one year), and it never auto-renews.
- Will this make me pass?
- No app can promise that, and we will not pretend to. What we can give you is the whole question bank, an explanation for every answer, and a readiness score that shows exactly where you stand — the rest is your study, and we built this to make every hour of it count.
- How do I unlock the full app after buying?
- Your receipt email carries an unlock code (see Redeem a code). Type it into the app once — it works offline, and your free-trial progress stays.
