Frequently Asked Questions

Sample examination questions utilized in each of our licensing resources are unique to that particular resource. For example, questions utilized in Insight are different than the questions utilized in Online Advantage.

No! The questions utilized in all of our products are unique to and created by Scorebuilders. Any similarity in the questions contained within the sample examinations and the questions on any version of the NPTE-PT or NPTE-PTA is purely coincidental. The Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy does not release old examinations nor do they authorize any company to use actual examination questions in their licensing resources.

Virtually all students possess a minimum of two examination resources and the majority of students have three or more. It is important for students to answer sample examination questions from a variety of resources. Each examination resource tends to have a slightly different style and difficulty level. Students exhibiting a level of comfort with the questions in multiple resources tend to feel more comfortable with the diversity of questions offered on the NPTE.

There is not an established uniform "passing score" for the examinations since the circumstances in which students elect to take the examination are very different. For example, some students take the examination several months prior to graduation, while others take the examinations after graduation. The most relevant factor to consider when deciding on the relative strength of an examination score is the mean examination score for all candidates. This number, which is constantly updated based on student performance, reflects the relative difficulty of the established examination. Ideally, a score of greater than or equal to the mean represents a strong score. Students' scores typically range from 55-85 percent of the total questions answered correctly.

Our goal is to write questions that are as consistent as possible with the questions on the NPTE. Great care is taken to make sure the questions are developed using the format and style used on the actual examination. Each question is designed to be reflective of subject matter contained within the current examination blueprint published by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy. Our item writers include a mix of academic faculty and full time clinicians with a variety of advanced degrees and clinical specializations. Students routinely comment that our sample exams are extremely consistent with the difficulty level of the actual National Physical Therapy Examination.

Students are encouraged to take each examination in a single sitting since this most closely resembles the format utilized on the NPTE. It is possible, however, to exit the examination if necessary.

No! The purpose of the 6,000 questions in Basecamp is to make sure candidates possess strong core academic content knowledge. Core academic knowledge is a foundational component necessary to progress to the higher level analysis and decision making questions on the NPTE. Our review book and Online Advantage practice examinations contain more licensing-like questions and are ideal once a candidate has solid command of core academic content.
