NPTE-PTA practice questions - frequently asked questions

Plain answers about how NPTE-PTA Exam Prep works: the exam, the questions, pricing, the free trial, and what you actually get.

No - and you should be wary of any site claiming otherwise. Every question here is original, written to mirror the style, difficulty, and judgment the real NPTE-PTA exam tests. Each one comes with a plain-language explanation of why the right answer is right and the others aren't.

The NPTE-PTA exam spans 14 domains: Cardiovascular & Pulmonary Systems (16.7% of the exam); Musculoskeletal System (25.5% of the exam); Neuromuscular & Nervous Systems (22.2% of the exam); Integumentary System (3.8% of the exam); Metabolic & Endocrine Systems (3.7% of the exam); Gastrointestinal System (1.1% of the exam); Genitourinary System (1.1% of the exam); Lymphatic System (1.8% of the exam); System Interactions (4.6% of the exam); Equipment, Devices, & Technologies (6.4% of the exam); Therapeutic Modalities (4.5% of the exam); Safety & Protection (4.9% of the exam); Professional Responsibilities (2.2% of the exam); Research & Evidence-Based Practice (1.4% of the exam). Every practice question on this site is tagged to one of these domains.

The domains are not weighted equally on the exam. By share of the marks: Musculoskeletal System 25.5%; Neuromuscular & Nervous Systems 22.2%; Cardiovascular & Pulmonary Systems 16.7%; Equipment, Devices, & Technologies 6.4%; Safety & Protection 4.9%; System Interactions 4.6%; Therapeutic Modalities 4.5%; Integumentary System 3.8%; Metabolic & Endocrine Systems 3.7%; Professional Responsibilities 2.2%; Lymphatic System 1.8%; Research & Evidence-Based Practice 1.4%; Gastrointestinal System 1.1%; Genitourinary System 1.1%.
