PY - 2020 T2 - Study Guide for the Board of Certification, Inc.: Athletic Trainer Certification Examination, 5e AB - The Board of Certification (BOC) examination is designed to determine if an individual possesses the knowledge and skills necessary to perform tasks critical to safely and competently practice as an athletic trainer. This examination assesses a candidate’s knowledge in the five domains of athletic training as defined by the current BOC Practice Analysis. As stated in earlier chapters, the Practice Analysis delineates into domains and tasks the knowledge and skills of athletic trainers. The BOC examination question types, mode of examination content delivery, and question content have changed over the years. Historically, the BOC examination was a three-section pen-and-paper test consisting of a multiple-choice section, a written simulation section, and a practical examination section. However, in June 2007, the BOC began administering this test in the completely computerized, integrated examination format used today. The current BOC examination consists of a combination of 175 scored and unscored (experimental) test questions. These questions include stand-alone multiple-choice questions, stand-alone alternative items, and focused testlets. You are allowed 4 hours to complete your examination, and you can navigate forward and backward through all the examination questions. SN - PB - F. A.
