Crossword puzzles are a fun way to help sort out these and other common terms when studying for the OREA examination. Originally created in ancient Egypt, word puzzles are just as engaging today as they were 2,000 years ago. Crosswords are ideal for online study because they encourage active, not passive learning. A lot of behind the scenes mental work takes place. Passit crossword puzzles require participants to distinguish between terms, recall course specifics and select the right words. Puzzles stimulate logical reasoning and the application of deductive skills when arriving at correct answers—important skills for all adult learners—particularly those having to pass OREA exams.
