PTA - Basecamp
IS BASECAMP DESIGNED FOR INDIVIDUAL STUDENT USE?
Yes! The supplied registration code is for the sole use of the original purchaser of Basecamp. Students are required to agree to a terms and condition agreement prior to utilizing Basecamp. The agreement clearly specifies that the use of the established Basecamp account by any other party is strictly forbidden and would be considered a violation of existing copyright law.
HOW SIMILAR ARE THE QUESTIONS IN BASECAMP TO QUESTIONS IN OTHER SCOREBUILDERS’ PRODUCTS?
Sample examination questions utilized in each of our licensing resources are unique to that particular resource. For example, questions utilized in Basecamp are different than the questions utilized in our review book or Online Advantage.

Basecamp – Annual offers the BEST value and allows you to have full access to this amazing product for 365 days. Go big or go home!
WHY WOULD I PURCHASE BASECAMP – STANDARD INSTEAD OF BASECAMP – ANNUAL?
In some cases, students need an extremely focused and rapid academic review. In these instances, Basecamp – Standard is a perfect option. Consider a student preparing for a challenging upcoming clinical experience or a student with an impending date with the licensing examination!

ARE THE QUESTIONS IN BASECAMP DESIGNED TO BE SIMILAR IN STYLE AND FORMAT TO THE QUESTIONS ON THE NATIONAL PHYSICAL THERAPY EXAMINATIONS?
NO! The purpose of the 2,000 questions in Basecamp is to make sure candidates possess strong core academic content knowledge. Core academic knowledge is a foundational component necessary prior to moving on to higher level analysis and decision making questions. Our resources PTAEXAM: The Complete Study Guide and Online Advantage contain more licensing-like questions and are ideal once a candidate has solid command of core academic content.
I HAVE OTHER SCOREBUILDERS PRODUCTS. DO YOU THINK I WOULD BENEFIT FROM USING BASECAMP?

HOW LONG WILL STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO BASECAMP?
Basecamp - Standard provides 30 day access to all of the Basecamp features. Extension can be purchased in intervals of 30, 60 or 90 days. The cost of the varying length extensions is as follows: 30 Days = $40; 60 Days = $50; 90 Days = $55). The Basecamp calendar automatically adjusts to a change in access period as long as access is continuous.
IF MY BASECAMP ACCESS PERIOD INADVERTENTLY EXPIRES, IS THERE A WAY TO GAIN ADDITIONAL ACCESS TO BASECAMP?
Existing Basecamp users can purchase an extension at any time meaning during a current active subscription period or even after access has expired.
CAN I REWATCH THE VIDEO ASSESSMENTS AND RETAKE THE SAMPLE EXAMINATIONS?
Yes indeed! Rewatch the videos and retake the sample exams as many times as you like within your access period!
IS THE SCORECARD SUMMARY DATA REFLECTIVE OF ONLY MY FIRST ATTEMPT?
No, the Scorecard data is reflective of your most recent attempt at each trail. We encourage you to take the examinations as frequently as possible to commit the information to long term memory. This same approach is not recommended with more licensing-like questions when attempting to predict readiness for the actual licensing examination.
IS THERE A RECOMMENDED PASSING SCORE ON THE SCORECARD?
There is not an established uniform "passing score". The bottom line is that Basecamp assesses students on academic core knowledge and as a result the expectation is that you should be doing “splendidly” prior to your Basecamp access expiring.
HOW WILL I KNOW HOW FAST TO PROGRESS THROUGH THE VARIOUS MOUNTAINS AND TRAILS?
Basecamp includes custom calendars that provide a sample progression path based on your current access period. Extensions are also available when life gets in the way or when individuals determine that they would benefit from a longer Basecamp access.
CAN STUDENTS PRINT OUT THE EXAMINATION QUESTIONS?
No! The examinations are designed to be taken online. Reproducing the questions contained within Basecamp for any reason would be considered a violation of established copyright law.
