Abstract:
As an athletic training student, your greatest goal is to pass the Board of Certification (BOC) Exam upon graduation. In an allied health profession, obtaining a degree does not mean that you can secure a job or become a professional in your field. Individuals have to be certified in their professional area. For an athletic training student, this exam is the BOC Certification Exam. Preparing for such an exam can be a rather difficult and overwhelming process. This manual is designed to give students a resource that guides and suggests regarding how to make this process more straightforward. It includes study resources, study techniques, and a preparation timeline. Overall, the manual's purpose is to serve as a comprehensive handbook for senior athletic training students towards preparing for their BOC Certification Exam. Of course, following this manual does not necessarily ensure that you will pass this difficult exam.
