Practice Exam & Assessment Tool (PEAT)

Practice taking the NPTE®

One of the best ways to prepare for the national physical therapy exam (NPTE) is by taking a practice exam. FSBPT developed the practice exam and assessment tool (PEAT®), a timed, computer-based, multiple-choice practice exam for NPTE candidates.

PEAT helps you identify your strengths and weaknesses prior to taking the actual exam. Questions have been developed by experienced clinicians and item writers in the same format as the NPTE. You get two timed (5-hour), 250-questions physical therapist (PT) practice exams or two timed (4 hour) 200-questions physical therapist assistant (PTA) practice exams.

Here's why PEAT is such a valuable tool. PEAT offers:
  • The same format and type of questions as the actual NPTE.
  • Immediate and automatic scoring.
  • A detailed performance report by content area and system.
  • Explanations and rationales behind correct answers.
  • References to help you increase your knowledge.

Through this purchasing interface you can buy PEAT for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants.

When you buy PEAT you have access to two different exams as part of the purchase: a practice test and a retired NPTE form. If you purchase PEAT again, you will receive the same two exams. On occasion FSBPT releases new versions of PEAT. The last release of PEAT was June 4, 2014.
