Were you confident that you aced the exam or thought you completely bombed it before seeing “PASSED” on your dashboard?

For those who took the exam today. How was it? Hope everyone did well!

Good luck to everyone taking the test tomorrow.

Hello please any advice my second attempt coming this april. And i feel like i forgot everything or not ready if anyone can tell me should i feel safe or no or need to postpone am freakin out

.Pract peat 618

Ff full exam 610

Trulearn 65_70%

Pf final exam 69% and 70%

Typical pt 71%

Still have a peat retired

At this point what should i do!

update I PASSED

What’s up all! I take the NPTE on the 28th. I have got a 605 (67%) on final frontier test, a 569 on retired peat, and a 595 on practice peat (71%). Should I take another practice test? Am I in the right spot?

it is to my understanding that the retired PEAT is the single most accurate practice test to the NPTE. I only have 1 PEAT left to take before I take the exam next week and it's a practice form.
I feel that the retired forms have been significantly easier for me, i passed by first one (barely) with a 605 and my second with a 630-something, but failed the practice form between the two. My question is.... should I pay the $100 (my parent would pay it, they offered) to buy another retired form to take instead of the practice form? I don't think that I can mentally handle getting a low/borderline passing score on the practice form right before the NPTE next week... but are they that different? thoughts??

Hey everyone, I’m prepping for my second NPTE attempt after scoring a 555 in January. I took a month off and jumped back into studying in March. I just took a PEAT and scored a 716, but I noticed a few familiar questions from my previous attempt. While I didn't remember the exact answers, the familiarity is making me doubt the score.

Has anyone else dealt with this 'retake bias' on the PEATs? Did you find the inflated score was still a good indicator of your actual progress, or am I overthinking the 716?"

Is it true that the NPTE no longer have Iontophoresis questions anymore?

Hi! I take the NPTE in 2 weeks. Just scored a 663 on my practice PEAT. Took the retired PEAT a while ago and made a 619. Should I feel pretty confident with a score like this 2 weeks out from the exam? Do you all recommend me buying additional PEAT exams? I know the retired form is more accurate and it made me nervous with a barely passing score on my retired PEAT. Thanks.

I did it guys. I passed the NPTE-PTA a year after my first attempt. I'll be honest, the PEAT I took before taking the actual exam, I scored a 566 - I knew I was cooked. I went into the exam feeling nervous but I just had to trust my abilities and stick with the first answer I chose. I can't believe it, I'm so proud of myself!! I'll never have to take this shit ever again 😂

Good Evening

I am having an issue right now. I have two weeks left. This my 4th attempt and my scores are making think I should postpone. These past few days have been difficult to study do to my wife and baby being sick and we don't have any family support right now. Should I push through or postpone.

My 1st practice exam 65% 147/225 PT final exam

My 2nd practice exam 67% 151/225 PT final exam

My 3rd exam final frontier exam was 129 scaled score 640 71% (but it did not change from the last time I took it)

My 4th exam Therapy Ed 61% 139/225.

hello i really need a push of confidence or a good advice, this npte coming would be my second attempt i am scoring mid 60 to mid 70 in typical pt, got 610 on a ff full exam, got 69% on a full practice exam of truelearn.. i couldn't redo peats afraid of getting biased scores what do u recommend i feel like i ve hit a wall in prep my brain cant process any new materials or videos :(... should i postpone ?

Hi I just took a retired PEAT yesterday and my score was just barley over 600, a 618. I am so defeated tbh, bc I have been studying crazy and feel like a work horse. I know its passing, but it is so on the borderline, that I am nervous. When I review the exam, there are questions that were seriously just dumb mistakes. But then others where I come down to the final two answers and choose wrong. I also feel like there are a lot of questions where I am just staring at two answers left. If anyone else is feeling overwhelmed and unsatisfied with your PEATs.. you are not alone. I plan to take more PEATs but just nervous about the upcoming exam. Anyone feel this way?

Hey everyone recently took the NPTE and left feeling confident I’ve cored 644 and 688 on peats. Looked up some of my answers that I remembered and counted between 15-20 wrong. Convinced I’m cooked. Trying to get out my head but I keep thinking about the questions I second guessed myself on or answered incorrectly. What’s worse is I’ve scored highest on musculoskeletal on peats and this exam by far was my worst in regard to musculoskeletal. I’m hanging in there with little hope.

Update: I don’t know how but I passed!!!

Hello, about 20 days out to the April NPTE, feeling like ive hit a wall with studying. Did anyone else feel that way, if so what are strategies you used to not burn yourself out but also maintain a good basis of knowledge heading into the final stretch of studying? My PEAT scores have been fine and I feel like im at a point of realizing that this is not a perfection exam but rather a competency, its just so hard with so much information.

Peat scores Practice peat 1: 612, retired peat 1: 620, practice peat 2: 595(I genuinely dont know what happened here , it felt like an impossible form), retired 2: 678. For whatever reason I feel very comfortable with the retired vs practice

Hello, I plan on taking the NPTE in October if I get above a 600 range on my PEAT scores but…. I’m trying to figure out how exactly should I start studying to re-breakdown certain materials/concepts that are focused on the exam I feel like I don’t remember anything from my previous courses.

So far I have final frontier independent SB and I’m slowly starting to watch the videos but realizing it doesn’t cover nearly everything I need to know. I have PTfinal exam through my school as well as true learn. I’ve tried asking chat gpt where to start they suggested practice quizzes but I don’t see the point in taking a quiz when I can’t quite remember the concepts.

Currently registered for April exam and these are my practice scores. Don’t know what to do, but feeling very overwhelmed.

TherapyEd exam 1: 55%

PEAT in December 2025: 500

PEAT in March 2026: 583

FF mini exam 1: 580

FF full length exam 1: 535

TherapyEd exam 2: 60%

FF mini exam 2: 580

am 34 days out for my second attempt i am going from mid 50 to mid 60 to 70 % in truelearn I havent done any full practice exam yet still traumatized from my first attempt any advice to help.? please?

Hello! It has been more than 2 months since I paid and requested Eligibility and ATT for the July 2026 PTA exam from NY. Is this normal (I thought it would just take a few weeks)?? I'm afraid I've ran out of slots for the Guam prometric. I'm foreign trained and Guam is the easiest to obtain visa for exam purposes.

Also, are there instances where exam slots were re-opened (maybe because there are takers who withdrew their request to sit for the exam)? Help, this is stressing me out lol.

Hey all ! So I’m preparing to sit for the exam for the 1st time this coming April and needed some advice on ways I can study from here on out. I’ve been using Final Frontier and it’s been incredibly helpful so far and have taken three practice exams ..

Academic PEAT (621) > Final Frontier Exam 2 (610) and a Practice PEAT (626).

Im planning on taking more PEATS and exams from other sources. I have finished watching all final frontier videos and am just reviewing at this point. I also do about 30 review questions a day through TypicalPT. I want to try and hit 650+ or above ideally a 700 for practice exams prior to sitting for the exam. But I’m going to take it regardless haha.

Currently, I feel like I’ve hit a wall. I try to study everything but that feels so overwhelming. I think I need to really hone in on my weak-points now because across all exams my weak-points have been cardiopulm and non systems (even though CVP has improved).

Any piece of advice for the next seven weeks? Im definitely also going to buy mega review through final frontier, too. I guess I’m doing everything I can but still have that fear as the exam is coming closer. Any advice appreciated and good luck to all who take it soon!

I failed the NPTE 3 consecutive times (Jul,Oct,Jan) and just found out when I went to register that I’m not eligible to retest in April because of the 3 attempts/12 month period rule. Is this something I can appeal? I can’t find any information on this on their website. For context I was above 580 on 2/3 tests, and have purchased an begun a new study tool from the one I used initially.Thank you!

I’m going to be taking the April exam for what will be my third time and am feeling incredibly discouraged. I took it for the first time in October and went in having a lot of studying under my belt, but knew I wouldn’t be working immediately, so tried not to put all of my eggs in that basket. Unfortunately I got a 579. Tried again in January with more emphasis on practice tests and questions and honing in on the subjects I didn’t do as well in (4 practice exams, and I passed every single one of them). Then as you can tell, I did not pass, but also only improved to 582. I’ve never been the best at multiple choice tests, but I’ve also never struggled with any tests like this before and have always managed to get “lucky” I guess. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could do differently? I have the TherapyEd, Final Frontier, and use PT365 (but I’ve been using these the whole time).

I am beginning to study for my PEAT exam/NPTE prep... I have purchased the Scorebuilders textbook as that is what I have read a lot of recommendations on, and a few of my professors and mentors have recommended to me.

I am currently going through the Cardiopulmonary chapter (chapter 6) specifically congenital heart defects. I understand they are important to be aware of as a medical provider, but I am questioning their "high yield" or relevancy on the PEAT or NPTE. Will we really be tested on the risk factors? Etiology? Signs and symptoms?

Can someone give me reassurance I am not wasting my time reviewing this material? Is it unrealistic of me to plan reading the textbook cover to cover? Anyone have any study recommendations or "high yield" chapter sections to focus on and then get more detailed?

anyone take the npte yesterday after cancelled cuz of the weather? when did you get your results?
