NATA Study Guide for the BOC Exam
In 2010, the National Athletic Trainers' Association partnered with ACES Preparatory Workshop to launch the NATA Study Guide for the BOC Exam.
Through two mock exams, the NATA Study Guide for the BOC Exam can help identify your strong and weak knowledge areas so you can better prepare for your certification test. These mock exams will expose you to both the content matter and the "feel" of the BOC exam, increasing your chances of success!
The NATA Study Guide for the BOC Exam will:
- Help a candidate understand how to use the Role Delineation Study in exam preparation;
- Evaluate a candidate's knowledge of topics within each of the domains;
- Increase a candidate's understanding of tasks within the Role Delineation Study;
- Provide a detailed report of the candidate's performance on the mock exams to identify areas of weakness that require further study.
