📋 About the real exam
- Who runs the exam
- The National Physical Therapy Examination for Physical Therapist Assistants (NPTE-PTA) is developed and administered by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (FSBPT). Your license itself is issued by the licensing authority in your state or jurisdiction.
- Format
- 180 multiple-choice items in four sections of 45, with 4 hours of testing time at Prometric test centers on fixed dates four times a year: 140 scored items and 40 unscored pretest items.
- Current content outline
- The NPTE-PTA Test Content Outline effective January 2024, based on the 2022 practice analysis, gives a range of scored items for each body system and for non-system areas such as equipment, modalities, safety, professional responsibilities, and research.
- Scoring
- Scores are reported on a 200 to 800 scale. The passing standard is a scaled score of 600, set by a criterion-referenced method and used in every jurisdiction. The scaled standard is not a fixed percentage of questions.
- How many people take it
- A PTA-only candidate count was not published in the sources consulted for this edition, so this app does not print one. FSBPT publishes NPTE reports on its website for current figures.
- Results
- FSBPT and your licensing authority issue your official result. This app cannot predict or influence your result, and practice scores here are study feedback only.
Fees, formats and rules change — always confirm the final details on the official exam site before you apply.

The full checklist for this exam — what to bring, what the center provides, and the morning-of routine — lives inside the app.
Questions
- Is this the official exam?
- No. These are original practice questions in a study app. 3H TestPrep apps are study aids with original practice questions. They are not official exams, are not affiliated with any testing organization or government agency, and do not provide or replace any required education, training, or certification.
- Is it a subscription?
- No. One payment of $49 and it is yours to keep — no expiry, nothing renews. The only time-limited product we sell is the All-Access Pass (one year), and it never auto-renews.
- Will this make me pass?
- No app can promise that, and we will not pretend to. What we can give you is the whole question bank, an explanation for every answer, and a readiness score that shows exactly where you stand — the rest is your study, and we built this to make every hour of it count.
- How do I unlock the full app after buying?
- Your receipt email carries an unlock code (see Redeem a code). Type it into the app once — it works offline, and your free-trial progress stays.
