Protect Your Reputation and Your Career
Passing the National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE) is a big step toward receiving your license to practice Physical Therapy. Understandably, you want to take advantage of all available resources when preparing for this important examination.

In the past when you have prepared for examinations at school, you considered fellow students to be good resources for learning about questions that were on those tests. This is NOT the case when preparing for the NPTE.

The NPTE is the property of the FSBPT and is protected by contract, trade secret, and federal copyright laws. It is a violation of those laws, and thus illegal, to share any information whatsoever about any NPTE question. In particular, sharing information about a NPTE question recalled from memory or asking someone who has taken the NPTE to share such information is illegal.

Do You Mean It's Illegal to Recall Questions?
YES! The FSBPT aggressively protects the integrity of the NPTE. Such protection is important to safeguarding the public from persons who do not have the requisite knowledge about physical therapy and therefore are not qualified to practice physical therapy. Any person for whom the FSBPT has a reasonable suspicion of sharing or soliciting information about any NPTE examination question may be prohibited from sitting for the NPTE unless and until they are determined after full investigation not to have shared or solicited such information.

ITEMS FROM THE EXAM ARE NOT TO BE SHARED WITH ANY PERSON FOR ANY PURPOSE.
