The NPTE — the National Physical Therapy Examination — is the licensing examination for physical therapists in the United States, developed by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (FSBPT). PassProfessor’s NPTE program prepares you with 2,000 original practice questions organized around the same content categories FSBPT publishes, so the time you spend practicing lines up with the exam you will actually sit.
What the program covers
Every content category on FSBPT’s outline is covered at its published weight. The bank’s category counts, and what a full practice exam draws from each:
- Cardiovascular & Pulmonary Systems — 274 practice questions; 25 per full practice exam
- Musculoskeletal System — 548 practice questions; 49 per full practice exam
- Neuromuscular & Nervous Systems — 486 practice questions; 44 per full practice exam

Practice in the real exam’s shape
A full practice exam draws 180 scored questions — the scored length of the real exam — across all 14 content categories at their outline weights, inside a 300-minute limit that mirrors the real five-hour clock. Practice exams are scored against a 70% practice benchmark: the real NPTE reports a scaled score from 200 to 800 with a passing standard of 600, which has no percentage equivalent, so treat the benchmark as a practice target, not the FSBPT standard.
How the program works
Enrollment gives you the full bank of 2,000 questions. Full practice exams draw a fresh set every attempt, weighted to the official outline, and never repeat the same exam twice. Short 10-question drills let you work one section at a time. A fixed free sample exam of 12 questions is available before you enroll, so you can see the question style first.
