The plan has no questions, so fit FSBPT’s Practice Exam and Assessment Tool (PEAT) or another full-length timed exam in before the final week.
Pick the date of your test and how long you can study each day. You’ll get a plan that takes you right up to the test.
How do you build an NPTE study plan?
Start with the content outline for your level. It tells you how many items each area gets, so your NPTE study plan can give the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems the most days. On the PT exam they’re up to 54 and up to 48 of the 180 scored items.
Fitting FSBPT’s tools into your NPTE study schedule
- Early on, read the Candidate Handbook and the content outline for your level.
- Take the free NPTE Demonstration Examination to learn the screens, the section breaks and how scenario questions look.
- Midway, take FSBPT’s Practice Exam and Assessment Tool (PEAT) under timed conditions. Its report breaks your results down by content area, body system and section, so you can move days to your weakest areas.
- If test nerves are a problem, try FifthTheory’s free Test Mastery program, which FSBPT offers to every NPTE candidate.
- In the last week, review rather than start new topics, and check your ID and Prometric appointment.
