This learning app contains 3,146 past questions from the National Physical Therapist Examination, covering 16 exams from the 46th (2011) to the 61st (2026), with explanations for all questions.
The exam consists of 200 questions in the morning and afternoon sessions, with 40 practical questions in each session worth 3 points each. To pass, you need to meet both the total score (167 points or higher out of 277 for the 61st exam) and the practical questions score (41 points or higher out of 117). This app considers everything in terms of points, and shows any missing points converted to "X questions for practical questions / Y questions for general questions." You can prioritize areas where you're losing points by looking at the points per exam for each subject area and the frequency of questions on each topic (e.g., "14 out of 15 exams"). Practical questions with diagrams such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and electrocardiograms can be practiced grouped by type. Questions 51-100, which are common questions, are the same as those for the occupational therapist exam, with the same explanations.
■ Strategies for this exam
- Passing score: Two horizontal bars, one for the total score and one for the practical questions, show the passing score for that session. Missing points are converted to "X questions for practical questions / Y questions for general questions."
- Past questions are presented in a table of session and time slot, listing your personal best total score and practical score in the actual exam format. You can practice solving only the morning session, only the afternoon session, or both morning and afternoon sessions.
- Practical questions: Practice the 40 practical questions (questions 1-20 from each time slot) grouped by type of diagram (illustrations, X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, electrocardiograms, graphs, tables, etc.) and subject area. Each session consists of 40 practical questions, presented in proportion to the actual exam time.
* Subject Areas and Themes: Points and estimated losses are displayed for each subject area (specialized and general), with themes listed in order of frequency of appearance.
* Results are determined by two lines: total score and practical score. Points are displayed for each category (practical, specialized/general, and general) and the areas where points were lost most frequently.
* On wider screens, the diagram is placed on the left and the questions on the right. The diagram can be enlarged by pinching.
