PTA ACE Course Scorebuilders

Our eLearning review course ACE - A Competitive Edge provides students with the most personal and effective method to prepare for the NPTE-PT on your own schedule. ACE provides students with 120 days of access to our state of the art eLearning platform. The course offers all of the same benefits as our On-Campus and Webinar Review Courses held annually at over 300 PT and PTA academic programs.

Over 400 Multiple Choice Questions and over 200 Videos
The activities within ACE consist of 180 licensing-like multiple-choice questions offered in ten specific activities. Each activity is designed to emphasize targeted educational themes or to explore an identified system or non-system content area. The multiple-choice questions include an item analysis, explanation of the correct answer, and an individual video where Dr. Giles presents an in-depth analysis of the question.

Our most recent ACE feature – Extraction is designed to improve your ability to differentiate between good, better, and best options on the licensing examination. Extraction includes 250 multiple-choice questions contained within 10 Training Sessions. Strong decision-making skills are essential when answering applied questions that do not rely solely on academic knowledge. After completing an activity or Extraction training session, students can gain valuable insight into their individual decision-making process. Explore the total points, percentile rank, session score, average incorrect options eliminated, and system scoring along with many other useful performance indicators.

Interactive Study Tools
ACE includes three innovative study tools designed to increase the efficiency of study sessions and complement traditional passive study tools. Students are able to rate their competence in specific academic content areas using mastery cubes. Sorting functions allow students to quickly identify topics requiring remediation and to increase their flexibility using academic content in applied clinical scenarios.

Organization Plus
Features such as a study calendar help students stay focused on their goal - passing the exam! ACE includes a multitude of organizational features such as interactive study calendars, sticky notes, highlighters, and master note pages to keep students on task.

Basecamp Access
ACE users receive free 120 days of Basecamp - Standard access. Basecamp includes hundreds of academic assignments, 3,000 flash cards, 80 hours of videos, and 6,000 multiple-choice questions. Learn more about Basecamp here scorebuilders.com/products/pta/basecamp.
