About this ebook
You have an NPTE-PTA date. Hold it. Between now and then: 584 questions with rationales, two full-length practice exams at the real 180-item length, a 10-day plan, a 40-question diagnostic. No login, no expiry.
We built this the way a clinical instructor runs a last rotation, not the way a shelf gets filled. FSBPT presents 180 items in four sections of 45, inside an appointment of up to four hours. Of those items, 140 count and 40 are pretest, seeded in and indistinguishable. The outline they follow took effect in January 2024. It draws one line and tests it on every item: the plan of care already exists. Evaluation, differential diagnosis and plan-of-care design belong to the supervising physical therapist. The most tempting wrong answer here is usually the one a PT would choose. Check us against FSBPT's published content outline. We would rather you did.
What's inside
Scope held on every single question. Each vignette opens with a diagnosis and plan of care already established. Every rationale names the PT-level answer and says why it is wrong for you.
584 original questions, every option explained. Each spells out what you measure, what the number means, and whether it changes today's session or triggers a call to the PT.
Two full-length practice exams at the real 180-item length. Four blocks of 45, exactly as the exam runs, so the four-hour appointment is familiar before you live it.
A 40-question diagnostic before Day 1. It matches the size of the exam's own unscored pool, and sorts your categories before you spend an evening in the wrong one.
Two days each on musculoskeletal and neuromuscular, the two largest content categories: spine and pelvis, then the extremities; central, then peripheral and vestibular.
Three full days on the non-system content. Equipment and devices, safety and professional responsibilities, research and evidence-based practice. Maybe your last book was written for the PT exam and scaled down. Give this one three evenings. If the diagnostic tells you nothing you did not already know, put it down. An hour is all it cost.
Written for three readers. A PTA student preparing for a first attempt. A graduate sitting for licensure this year. Someone retaking who keeps losing points to PT-level options. If outpatient orthopedics is already your day job, start at Day 3 and come back to the first two.
Day 7 is the medically complex patient, where the right move is often to stop and call the PT. It makes for a long evening. Downloaded once, yours to keep.

About the author
Passmark builds one kind of book: the one that makes your study hours count. We start from a simple conviction — a certification exam is a skills test, not a memory test — so we never hand you a wall of facts to reread. Our method comes from the science of how memory actually holds: you learn by retrieving, not rereading; you revisit on a widening schedule so it sticks; every answer is explained, right and wrong, so you keep the reasoning; and a diagnostic points your hours where they will move your score. We read each exam's current blueprint ourselves, write every question from scratch, and check every number in the book — question counts, domain weights, practice tests — against the finished pages, not the marketing. When an exam changes, our books change with it.
