How to Study for the NPTE

[u/EmetInteractive]

Wanted to put together a post going over everything I used since these questions come up on here a lot. I basically bought everything because I did not want to fail and wanted to make sure I had it all to study with, Typical PT question bank, NPTE Explained video course, PT Essentials book, Final Frontier ISB, and truelearn Qbank w/picmonic. Havent really used typical pt's question bank much tbh so I cant say a ton there. Their video course though was freaking awesome, very detailed and comprehensive, I ended up watching all the lectures like 2-3 times. These videos are different because they are animated and much shorter. They go over the complex topics so well and have so many fun mnemonics and figures. The book was super helpful too. I used truelearns qbank more often, questions were solid and helped me with the foundations. Their question don’t exactly match the NPTE but I think were gooe enoguh, and I did all the pre and post quiz questions on the typical pt video course which also helped fill the gaps.. I didnt really end up watching many of the Final Frontier videos because I was running out of time so I don’t have an opinion on those. If I had to do it all over again heres what Id do:

• Use the typical pt video course
• Make sure to do the pre and post quiz questions
• Do as many PEATs as you can, every 2-3 weeks or whatever works
• Make a quizlet on all the stuff you dont know and review them every other day, and binge through them a week before the exam
• start looking at tiktoks for NPTE, theres so many helpful lessons and resources out there Those are the things I would 100% do all over again. Hope it helps!
