A Brief Description of Each of the Units

Unit 1 - Introduction to the NPTE-PT
The unit provides candidates with information on the purpose, development, scoring, and administration of the NPTE-PT. Candidates are introduced to a systematic approach to answering multiple-choice questions and are exposed to recent developments in item construction. The unit also provides a detailed analysis of each of the content outline and system specific areas of the NPTE-PT. The unit offers a variety of study concepts that candidates can utilize to increase the effectiveness of study sessions.

Unit 2 - Academic Review
The unit provides candidates with an efficient method to review didactic information from a physical therapist curriculum. The academic review consists of eight distinct chapters of academic information. The first six chapters consist of academic content in specific systems (e.g., musculoskeletal) and non-systems (e.g., equipment, devices, and technologies) areas. Each chapter includes a description of the physical therapy management of commonly encountered medical diagnoses on the NPTE-PT. Since the examination is designed to assess entry-level practice, it is likely that candidates will encounter the information presented in the academic review frequently on the actual examination. Mastery of this information can significantly increase candidates' scores on the NPTE-PT.


Unit 3 - Examinations
The unit includes an answer key for the three, 180 question sample examinations located on our eLearning site Insight. The examinations were developed based on selected specifications from the current content outline. Candidates are able to generate a detailed performance analysis summary that identifies current strengths and weaknesses according to system specific and content outline areas. The answer key includes an explanation specifying why the correct answer is correct and an explanation specifying why each incorrect answer is incorrect. The answer key also includes a cited resource with page number, academic focus area, level analysis, and the assigned system specific and content outline areas. The examinations provide candidates with the opportunity to refine test taking skills and assess current preparedness for the examination.

Why Students Love Scorebuilders' PTEXAM: The Complete Study Guide

"Scorebuilders Rules! was previously studying from another book which was consistently putting me to sleep. I have found your book to be far more comprehensive and educationally relevant than other resources. I am a visual learner and the layout allows me to more easily digest complex information. Thank you for your incredible attention to detail!"

- Student, Washington

"Thank you Scorebuilders! I absolutely love your review book. I only wish that I had discovered the book sooner. I had previously purchased the TherapyEd resource which felt like a never ending list of bullets with far too many questions covering tangential information. In summary, I am thrilled to be licensed and love your company!"

- Student, California

"Your review book and Basecamp have been an incredible 1-2 combination. I just received news that I crushed the exam! I am so happy and believe your products helped me achieve this magical moment. Thank you!"

- Student, Louisiana

"We love Scorebuilders' exam questions and find that they provide our students with the most realistic pre-exam experience possible. The explanations of each correct and incorrect answer allows students to not only assess their current decision making, but to identify their tendencies and make changes to improve exam performance. Keep up the great work!"

- Faculty, Florida

"I love how you continue to update the book with the What's New feature even after I purchased the book. The book was worth every penny I spent and more which is a bit remarkable given my very limited student budget. Thank you for being such a wonderful company and producing such quality products."

- Student, Virginia

"The Scorebuilders' questions were similar to my actual exam and provided me with a better sense of my exam readiness. In addition, the explanations offered for the questions were incredibly detailed which helped me to understand "Why" certain answers were better than others. The video explanations with Dr. Giles have helped me to improve my decision making."

- Student, Michigan

"We have used your resources with our students for the last decade. Thank you for continually raising the bar! Your resources have been a huge part of our program's success!"

- Faculty, Texas

"I have bought a lot of required books during my physical therapy education. I am happy to tell you that my most valuable and most utilized resource was your review book. I used this tremendous resource during my clinicals and of course when studying for the exam."
