I'm so sorry! I know how disheartening it is! It happened to me. Take a few days to get your head cleared.

I got the feedback performance report. It's 90 bucks but worth it. It will show you where you were lacking and several other items. What all were you studying from?

My school was incredibly helpful for those of us that didn't pass. They paid for my performance report and for some new practice tests (scorebuilders online).

I somehow qualified to take a 3 part survey and got mine for free! Saved 90 there but had to pay for the PEAT. I think the PEAT is a great source!

.

Sorry to hear! It was hard. Like I said earlier, take some time to clear your head and go at it again. I really think my first attempt my nerves got me. Remember, it's a reading test (quoting TherapyEd instructor) you have to read the full question and all the answers.

Will you take the next scheduled one?
 
Thanks for the concern @wrennywren @hey_everyone12 .
I studied from scorebuilders and some topic from sullivan . Did peat exam , scorebuilders and sullivan as well.
i have also studied from blue book. i tried to cover everything i could that time, studied day and night. May be something was left. I am planning to buy score report.
From where did u guys studied? any tips will be a great help

Yea, im taking the next one in July. I feel I know the info. I am weak in examination and interventions.
 
i still cant see the status of my result.....i dont know wats wrong with my state?......i think i will have to wait till tomorrow:(
 
Hi everyone!I already got my result,FAILED..Im already expecting it though because i didn't finish my exam plus its really tricky & lengthy.This is my first attempt & graduated since 2006.just studied for almost 3 mos: read lectures for the first half of my review then questionnaires for the second half.I just read PEAT & IER,didn't have time to read scorebuilder & TherapyEd. Im taking again this July. God has a better plan for all of us.Have faith!
Good Luck fellow PTs!

Thanks!!!! You had me believing in myself. Thanks again!. As far as tips goes....when is your exam and how are you preparing?
 
Yeah....I passed the exam:):soexcited:

My state didn't allow to see paased/failed status so I had to buy Individual score report frm fsbpt fr 55 bucks .....but atleast it was worth spending it.....I scored 616/800..... this was my first attempt and I made it ....

I studied for 3 months 5 hrs/day Monday to Friday. ....I studied therapy ed and scorebuilders and also took PEAT exams. Honestly, I never scored above 65 in any of 8 exams but I learned my mistakes through each exam......I never missed ny occasion or event during my exam prep coz I didnt believe in the logic behind studying 7-8 hrs/day for 6-7days a wk...

My tip fr the prep is study a day only upto ur saturation level.....once u know that your brain is not accepting ny more information for the day, u should just stop it until next day.....also make every concept clear either through book or Internet......

To all who couldn't make it unfortunately, dont loose hope ....take one week copmlete break .....go out have fun and forget everything for one week.....beleive me, the stress of the exam and one week wait for the result has already stressed you out more than enough.....so dont start studies at this point.....
Wish u all best luck for july.:thumbup:​

It was worth every dime I spent. You will figure out where you are lacking....and what your doing wrong. Its $375 for 3 months . After failing twice....I had to tap into every resources available to help me break the barrier. Nothing in life is guaranteed remember this......however, I quickly figured out my problem once I enrolled with them.

I believe there was a "FAQ" and a section on how to interrupt the report.

I remember "on track to pass" is the amount of questions you would likely need to get correct to pass. There is also a reading that states what you could possibly get if you didn't study but got a different exam. I would read the FAQ, it really helps you understand.
 
Congrats to everyone who passed!!! :):)
I am taking NPTE in July and was wondering if anyone is interested in selling their TherapyEd course manual that comes along with the study guide.

My whole book has writing in it and is highlighted. I'm not sure if you would want to purchase that.

I would recommend you to get comfortable with the questions. I am a foreign grad and I did 13 prac tests before the real thing. My target was always to get 75 or around in prac exams. My advice is to review each and every qs after you write the test, try to get the keywords in qs that will direct you towards the right answer. Try to know why it was wrong or right. I use to refer textbooks or review guide (scorebuilders, therapyed, blue book or Mcgraw Hill) for relevant qs and for which I did not understand the qs
NPTE exam is tricky. You need to know keyword and main idea behind asking the qs. try to visualize the qs as u see them. For example, if you bend what will be the position of ur sacrum and ilium. try doing on it and you will get clear idea.

I've been reading all your post. It makes me feel a little better after failing my NPTE last April for my second attempt. Though, I will move on and will never quit, it really is painful to receive FAILED result. :( I actually cried that day. Now, I wish to have a study partner, someone who will sit and review with me straight 4 hours a day Monday to Friday. And take practice exams together every Saturday. Like everyone else, I myself dont know whats lacking. I dont have the report yet so right now, im focusing to read on the topics with I had a hard time during the test. And yes, April 30 NPTE was sooooooooooo hard. I'm taking my 3rd attempt this JULY.. Im from California, Bay Area.. Anyone study partner? Goodluck to all of us.

I'm selling my NPTE study books with the CD's. I have the 2014 editions of O'Sullivan (Therapy Ed) and Giles (Scorebuilders). The Scorebuilders text has a little highlighting here and there, and theres also notes on the first practice test at the end of the book. Other than that, they are in good condition. Send me a message if anyone's interested, thanks!
