This has been such a life saver. I was sooo worried about my studying habits (which include a lot of procrastination, passive reading, 500 different resources/videos, and very nonhelpful mnemonics). So, stumbling across your podcast and 450 formula have made this experience for me so much more relieving. I feel like I can do this because I have such a reliable, interactive, and super helpful study guide! Your encouragement and work goes so far, I can’t thank you enough. My confidence grows even as I progress through the big and distressing topics because of this podcast. Really, it’s amazing and incredible work you have done. Fingers crossed for March 7th!

I am currently studying for my NBCOT and have found this podcast very helpful! Some episodes are more helpful than others (based on my study style and mnemonics that work for me) but I am so thankful I have this to use while studying! If you are first starting to study, I suggest beginning with Study and Testing Strategies. This episode gave me confidence in my abilities and started my studying journey on a positive note!

I have literally never written a review on a podcast but this pod helped me pass the exam. I wish I would have listened to them before I started studying anything else!

Just found your podcast off of a blog post and listened to episode 8. I love your approach on how to look at the exam in a different/more approachable light. I’m optimistic about listening to the rest of your episodes. Thank you!

This is such a great resource to supplement studying for NBCOT. Especially on the days when you can’t stare at your computer or a textbook any more. Thank you for making these so easy to understand and accessible!

Thanks to this podcast, I passed the NBCOT and I’m not a COTA/L. this podcast is amazing at breaking down information that’s hard to digest into smaller chunks that are easy to remember and apply. I will preface by saying I used a lot of other resources, I can confidently say I don’t think I would have earned the score that I got without this podcast. Thank you Miles!!

I am so grateful for this podcast for taking some super tough topics and breaking them down in fun ways that I actually remembered!!! You are a hero! Thank you so much I can't believe I passed!!!!

I am so thankful for this podcast and for Miles for putting this all together. I can’t tell you how helpful the mnemonics were in helping me tackle huge topics. I feel so much better about the exam and would recommend this to anyone studying the NBCOT!

This podcast was a huge resource for me and how I passed the exam. I cannot thank Miles enough for the time and effort that went into creating these podcasts and study guides!! I would recommend this podcast to every soon-to-be OT out there!!!

Miles makes learning fun and easy with great mnemonics and examples. Professors will beat a topic to death and still no one understands. Miles can teach it once and people will remember it for years. Thank you!

This podcast was one of the biggest reasons I passed the exam! Thank you Miles 🙏🏽

I highly recommend OT exam prepper podcast and the UE packet. Both were so helpful and Miles does such a great job of explaining the material in a way that is understandable. He is fantastic and is a big reason I passed the exam! Thank you so much Miles!

Miles thank you for making this podcast!!! I passed on the first try!! The best part of this podcast (in addition to providing knowledge) is that it helped me calm down once I was in the exam. I felt way less anxious knowing that I could fall back on the pneumonics and worksheets Miles made for us!

This is an INCREDIBLE supplementary study resource for those taking the nbcot. Miles does a great job of conceptualizing difficult topics and proving mnemonics/easy ways to remember things. He exemplifies studying “smarter not harder”, so much so that I purchased his hand and upper extremity course which has improved my competency in that area significantly! Highly recommend all of his resources!

I honestly do not know what I would have done without these amazing mnemonics for the NBCOT exam!! Also I highly, highly recommend the OT Game Plan course. Thank you Miles for teaching in a way that makes active recall possible across all of these topics!

This podcast is so so helpful! The pneumonics are so creative and helpful! Breaks down subjects into succinct pieces! So helpful! Thanks for making this podcast!

Gives you good tips and details on what main topics to focus on and saves lots of time by making things easy to remember without having to memorize

Easy and great to help you conceptualize topics!

Truly thank you sooooo much for all you do for us with preparing for the exam and more. You have given us light in this dark study time. I am absolutely terrified for boards but you have helped so much with confidence and knowledge. Your mnemonics will stay with me throughout OT profession. Thank you

Miles you need to consider being an OT professor!! You present information in such an organized memorable way that has really helped me study for my NBCOT exam. Keep up the good work!

So glad I discovered this podcast! I am currently studying for my NBCOT exam, and find the information here to be broken down in such a helpful way. This podcast makes me look forward to studying. Thanks!

I have always struggled when trying studying developmental milestones. This podcast made ALL the difference! The mneumonic explained was such a creative and helpful tool - making it all just click!!!! THANK YOU a million! I’m studying for the NBCOT now and will definitely be back to this podcast to supplement my learning.

Thank you so much for creating this podcast, Miles! I haven’t even gotten through all of the episodes yet, but the ones that I have listened to have been extremely helpful. The way you simplify the topics and come up with mnemonics/easier ways to remember complex topics is amazing. I even purchased your OT Game Plan course because I knew it would be worth it in my journey to the NBCOT. I have also shared the podcast with some of my classmates because I truly believe it will help others.

Your podcast has helped me with studying for my OTA test for Nbcot. I just wanted to say thanks. Katherine

I found through studying that by listening I remember information better, I downloaded the free study guides, but I often drew everything Miles discussed myself and looked at his later. I can’t explain how much of a tremendous help this was, but after passing, I’m happy to delete it!! ;) would recommend to ANYONE studying for the NBCOT ❤️

Very helpful podcast for highlighting important topics to cover for the exam and making them easy to learn so you can practice applying the info to answer NBCOT questions. Thanks so much for making the podcast and all of the resources - made a big difference for me on the exam!

This podcast was extremely helpful for me. Miles provides visual aids with his podcasts and involves the listener by asking you to interact with each topic presented. This podcast made studying for the NBCOT fun and everything I learned stuck with me. Thank you Miles for taking the time to put this together, I appreciate your help!!

Honestly I had such a hard time conceptualizing all the different scales. Although I understood them I would have trouble recalling the information when answering questions. This podcast has helped me so much and I no longer have difficulty recalling all of this information!

This podcast has been extremely helpful with preparing for the exam. It’s impossible to remember everything but these pneumonias and movie/book references have helped me recall information and feel confident in my ability to pass. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these!

Thank you for your time. Podcast are great and perfect for all my time in the car. The study guides are such a nice bonus also!

I love how you provide mnemonics, easy to remember stories, and fun visual cues to help remember some of the more mundane or wordy parts to study for. I really love your podcast and REALLY appreciate the free sources to study. As a student, it’s very hard to afford a lot of helpful material, and you providing this free guide is beyond helpful and so kind. Thank you SO much!!

I’m in the early stages of studying for the NBCOT. I listen to the podcast then follow along with the study guides. It has been beneficial to remember study material! The mnemonics are well thought of, thus easy to recall the information. I appreciate your time and effort towards this. Thank you!

You break everything down in a way that is wasy to remember. You're a life saver!!

Every guide is clean and every episode is fire

I found out yesterday morning that I passed my NBCOT exam!!!!! I listened to all of Miles’ podcasts and reviewed all of his study guides throughout my month studying, and they were so incredibly helpful and memorable! You made ideas, that I couldn't otherwise grasp, EXTREMELY easy to remember and understand and even enjoyable! THANK YOU for all that you do to help students pass the NBCOT exam! You are wonderful and I am so thankful to have had your podcasts and study guides as a resource while studying! Andree

This podcast is exactly what I needed to support my studying for the exam. The study tips and mnemonics are funny, easy to follow, and helpful to remember!! The podcasts are short and knowledgeable!! Can’t thank you enough !!!

Amazing resource for studying for the exam! Every episode has been broken up and made easy to understand while hitting all the important points! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I cannot thank miles enough. This podcast was insanely helpful in preparing for the exam. I used it from the day I started to taking the actual test with reciting the mnemonics in my head.

Love the study sheets. This is definitely a podcast to listen to at any point of your OT career. Thank you!!

Would not feel as prepared for the NBCOT without listening to all his episodes, multiple times in a row ;) Thank you Miles for all your hard work on creating these!

He speaks so fast that the words are all blurred together and it is difficult to understand. I thought the sound was sped up at first and moved on to the second and then the third episode. But they are all the same. I became frustrated and had to give up!

This podcast help so much with remembering the hard parts Miles’ mnemonics to help remember things were extremely helpful! Must listen if you’re studying for the NBCOT!

Thank you so so so much Miles for creating really easy to follow and fun study materials to learn the brutal topics for the NBCOT! I feel I would have not passed on my first attempt if I didn’t have resources like these podcast. You made studying not so dreadful on days I couldn’t read any more on topics. Listening to your podcast on drives and just on days where I had no more brain power left really helped me in remembering things. I wish I knew about your podcast in school, however I’m glad I found them while studying for the boards. Thank you for taking the time to do this for us!! Your creative ways helped so many students like myself.

Listening to these podcasts simplified everything, gave great ways to remember the topics, and most importantly helped me pass the NBCOT exam

This podcast has been beyond helpful in helping me study for the COTA NBCOT! Miles is a genius at creating imagery that will really stick in your head. Thank you!

Currently studying for the NBCOT exam and this podcast has helped me review, comprehend and simplify so many topics! Thank you Miles! God bless you

Miles does an excellent job summarizing the content that is fundamental for the exam and just good knowledge to know in general. I enjoy how he has a study guide for each one, super helpful when I had a visual to go with the audio. Although I didn’t have much relation to star wars and lord of the rings, I appreciate his idea of how he went about making the study guides. Thank you.

You literally target everything I am struggling with for this exam! I can’t tell you how many papers have the Rancho circles and Dr. Cuma written on them! I love that I can still feel like I am productively studying even when I don’t have my book in front of me. Thank you for doing this, and please keep going! Wish me luck for my August 6th exam!

I have really enjoyed my time studying using this podcast. Miles is able to make learning the topics so clear and enjoyable... I’m just waiting on the Marvel Universe to enter the chat but that’s fine, I’ll wait.

I’m an OTA student studying for the NBCOT and I love this podcast! Miles has great study guides to go along with his episodes. He explains everything in easy to understand terms, repeats himself and comes up with great and creative ways to remember info.
