Compare the statutory definitions with the Board's rule-level definitions in OAR Chapter 339 and note every place the rule adds detail the statute does not contain.

Build a one-page statute-to-rule crosswalk table linking each ORS 675 OT section to the OAR 339 rule that implements it.

Outline the Board's licensure pathways in OAR 339 by listing required application components, fees, and timelines in sequence.

Distinguish the license types and statuses the rules recognize (for example active, inactive, expired, and any temporary or provisional status) and state the practice restrictions attached to each.

Summarize practice standards the rules impose on all licensees, including documentation, identification, and notification duties.

Identify which rule sections govern supervision and flag them for deeper study in Week 4.

Write ten original practice-scenario questions drawn from OAR 339 and answer them with rule citations.

Sequence the full application process from initial submission through license issuance, noting which steps depend on Board or third-party action.

List continuing education requirements by cycle, including hour totals, acceptable activity categories, and any limits or carryover rules.

Describe renewal deadlines, late-renewal consequences, and the steps to return a lapsed license to active status.

Explain how the Board handles verification of education and fieldwork, and what an applicant must submit if credentials originate outside Oregon.

Draft a personal renewal checklist you could reuse each cycle.

Define each supervision level used in Oregon rules and state, for each, who may perform it and how often it must occur.

Differentiate the OT–OTA supervisory relationship from supervision of students or aides by listing the distinct requirements for each.

Specify documentation duties tied to supervision, including what must be recorded, who signs, and required retention.

Analyze three hypothetical delegation failures and identify the specific rule each would violate.

Explain how supervision obligations change with setting, acuity, or the OTA's experience level if the rules so provide.

Compile the rule-defined categories of unprofessional conduct into a single annotated list with a concrete example of each.

Trace the disciplinary process from complaint intake through investigation, notice, hearing, and sanction, identifying the licensee's rights at each stage.

Distinguish the roles of the Board and the state administrative hearing process in imposing discipline.

Compare the range of available sanctions and the conditions under which each is typically applied.

Write a short case analysis of a hypothetical ethics complaint, predicting the likely rule violation and sanction range.

Explain the elements of informed consent in occupational therapy and identify situations requiring documented consent versus ongoing assent.

Summarize confidentiality obligations, including permitted disclosures and the minimum-necessary principle as applied to OT records.

List Oregon mandatory reporting obligations relevant to OT practice and state, for each, who must report, what triggers the duty, and to whom.

Describe patient rights provisions that apply to OT services, including access to records and refusal of treatment.

Apply the reporting rules to four short scenarios and decide whether a report is required.

Re-review Weeks 1, 2, and 5 notes and rewrite any summary that no longer matches the current rule text.

Answer 60 mixed practice questions across the three domains under timed conditions and log every miss with its root cause.

Re-drill the ten most-missed concepts until you can state the correct rule and citation from memory.

Reconcile your statute-to-rule crosswalk with any rule updates you discovered during review.

Review the exam administration rules: format, passing standard, retake limits, and any remediation requirement after a failed attempt.

Complete two full-length timed practice exams and compare scores to set a realistic readiness judgment.

Re-verify renewal, CE, and supervision details that are most likely to be tested as numeric facts.

Consolidate all eight weeks of notes into a single final review sheet limited to the facts you still miss.

Confirm your exam-day logistics, including identification and scheduling requirements stated in the rules.
