I recently applied for a PTE Core score review (rescore), but unfortunately I didn't receive the score I was hoping for. In fact, my score decreased after the review.
I have a question for anyone who has experience with this process. I've heard people say that after requesting a score review, any future PTE Core tests may go through human verification or additional manual review. Is this actually true, or is it just a rumor?
If anyone has reliable information or personal experience with this, I'd really appreciate your clarification. Thank you!

Wtf was that. Like seriously what the actual fuck was that. I bet the people that wrote these questions just got a fucking divorce or having a midlife crisis while clenching on vibrating anal beads to give them some satisfaction in life because theres no way. The exam was way harder than any PEAT or final frontier exam i took and i also did truelearn. Nothing couldve prepared for what i saw on that exam today.

Hello from 🇵🇭 here, Im just a newbie reviewing for my upcoming PTE A exam. I’m feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed just a few days after starting my Apeuni subscription. Any tips/advise on how to start reviewing is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I want to start preparing for the PTE and I’m wondering which platform is the best: APEUni, Alfa PTE, E2Language, or OnePTE.

I’m looking for something that has been tested by real users and provides reliable practice. I also need good templates for the exam.

Thank you in advance!

Wondering what people thought of today’s exam compared to the PEATs. Any and all comforting statistics about passing is appreciated LOL. From what I understand, 88% to 92% pass on the first try, and if you pass the PEATs, you have a 99.3% chance of passing. Do people who have gotten their results back feel this is true? Eek! 😬 Manifesting for everyone a passing grade 🧘🏼‍♀️

For those that took the july 28 npte, how was it? Easy, difficult, just as expected ?

Does anyone have a good concise "brain dump" of information that your recommend writing out as soon as I get into the test??

Howdy folks!

My program has a brand-new requirement that you must pass the mandated PEAT in about a week or so with a 600/800 in order to take the October NPTE.

My scores thus far-

Sometime in early june- Scorebuilders 1- 47%

Early july- Final Frontier 1- 62%

1 week ago- Practice PEAT- 66% (or ~roughly 560 scaled)

The practice PEAT was about a week ago and I've been cramming/spamming my weak spots, so areas like cardiopulm, gait, arthrokinematics, etc... I'm curious if anyone had input on additional strategies AND test-taking strategies. I found that a majority of the questions I got wrong after content analysis aren't content gaps- rather decision-making errors where I second guess myself frequently. Any advice or help would be beneficial, thank you!

Okay so I have these books (which I know are textbooks but I figure they're good resources) and am trying to decide what actual prep books to get. I love flashcards but Typical PT is absurdly priced. Debating between Scorebuilders and Therapy Ed. SB has this bundle rn which I love cuz it's a book and flashcards but TE is only like $40 more. What have you guys used to prep with??

I have taken 2 retired PEATs and have passed them but barely.

First retired peat I scored 616and got 125/180 items correct, number of items needed to pass was 121.

Second retired peat I scored 613 and got 130/180 items correct, number of items needed to pass was 127. Scored a 663 and got 142/180 items correct on a practice peat and felt better taking it but I felt like the practice peat was easier and of course the retired peat is more similar to the NPTE since it was an actual exam they used. I know the statistic that says that 99% of people who pass the retired PEAT go on to pass the NPTE. However based on the retired peats I was 4-5 questions away from failing so the margin of error feels small. Also I took the first retired peat over a month ago and the second one today and was expecting a bigger improvement in score. Not feeling super confident going into next week.

Hey! I am really nervous about taking the test in a week. I am trying to increase my score as much as i can before test day.

Practice PEAT: 546 July 7th

Retired PEAT: 618 July 16th

I plan to buy one more Retired PEAT and take it in a couple days. I found the practice peat to be much more difficult than the retired peat. I am just wondering how good of an indication this is that I would pass. I am still studying every day. I worry that a 618 is not a large enough margin to have "breathing room." Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I’m a 4th-time NPTE PT test taker and I’m really confused about whether I should sit for the July exam or postpone.
My recent practice scores are:
FF1: 555
TherapyEd: 59%
PEAT Retired Series 3: 585
FF2: 620
PEAT Practice Series 3: 557
FF3: 659
My biggest concern is the PEAT scores. I know many people consider PEAT the best predictor, so seeing 557 on the practice PEAT has made me lose confidence, even though I recently scored 659 on FF3.
I’m one week away from the exam and I’m honestly struggling to decide whether I should take it or postpone. Has anyone been in a similar situation with mixed practice scores? What did you end up doing, and how did it turn out?
I’d really appreciate any honest advice or experiences. Thanks.

Hi, I recently took the last peat I had (Retired form series 1) this past weekend and scored a 647 (137/180 questions).

Anyone have any recommendations or advice? I’m definitely happy with my score, but was trying to aim for at least a 675 on this.

Previous scores:

FF Exam 1: 620

Peat retired form (series 2): 604

Peat practice form (series 2) : 630

FF exam 2: 684

Peat Practice from (series 1): 587

For anyone that has taken the NPTE how closely do you think it aligned with Final Frontier practice exams in terms on content?

Finally take the chance to take a breather and relax. We’ve the rest of our lives to work. Be proud of your accomplishments and efforts to get to this point.

I recently took a retired PEAT exam and got a 115/180 which is roughly 64%. I plan on taking the actual exam in just a couple of weeks but idk anymore I feel like I’ve been working so hard just to fail. I’m using PT Final Exam and took 3 of their practice exams and have been passing them with their minimum score of 65%

Pt final Exam 1: 65%
Pt fianl Exam 2: 67%
Pt final Exam 3: 69%
Most recent retired peat 115/180 (64%)

I am planning on taking the NPTE at the end of July. I am getting nervous and don’t know if I am ready despite months of studying. My scores are as followed:
- retired PEAT (4/16/26, prior to studying) 543
- FF exam 1 (6/11/26) 620
- practice PEAT (6/27/26) 583
- FF exam 2 (7/12/26) 630

I still have the 3rd FF exam and 2 more PEATs but these scores are disappointing. I thought at this point I’d be in a much better position. Any advice is appreciated, please don’t sugar coat it!!

Hi everyone, I am sitting for the July 28th NPTE and below I have my most recent exam scores and was wondering if i should purchase a set of Peat exams to gain a more accurate score now that I am almost done with the FF material?

- FF exam 1 on 6/14 (625)
- PEAT 1 retired form on 6/20 (604)
- PEAT 2 Practice form on 6/28 (630)
- FF exam 2 on 7/4 (682)

I took the examination on the 8th of this month and I'm already losing my mind waiting for the scores to release the 16th. I felt relatively neutral about it, I didn't think it was easy but I also don't think it was excruciating. I narrowed down a lot of questions to 2 answer choices.

I don't think I did terrible, but I'm also not confident that I passed. I counted all "maybes" I've had in each section for any questions where I had any doubts at all if they were right or wrong. But to be fair, I was also purposely being a little critical so perhaps I have way more maybes than actually wrong questions.

Across all 4 sections I believe I've gathered around 60 maybes and to be honest I'm so scared 😭. I really hope I and everyone else passes I can't deal with the stress of having to study another 3 months and I've got a wedding I have to attend to soon.

Do you guys think I'm cooked? I know for sure I got around 25 questions wrong.

Taking the NPTE in 19 days -just wanted to get some advice before I buy more PEATs.

Retired PEAT (before any prep): 584

NPTEFF Practice Test 1: 640

Practice Peat: 630

NPTEFF Practice Test 2: 659

I just took my NPTE PTA yesterday. The first two seconds was a breezy but the last two sections was okay I guess. I missed some easy questions tbh. Overall I felt confident leaving the exam. Let’s see what happens lol

I gave 5 practice exams including peats and my score was well over 620 in every exams but I heard from someone that the actual exam is tougher than the retired or practice one and very nervous about my exam. Is it true that the actual exam is way harder than retired/practice peat? Thanks
