About this ebook
You have an NPTE date. Hold it. Between now and then: 695 questions with every option explained, two 225-item practice exams, a 10-day plan opening with a 45-question diagnostic. No login, no expiry.
We built this the way a clinical instructor runs a board review, not the way a shelf gets filled. FSBPT's Test Content Outline, effective January 2024, sets the shape: 225 items in five sections of 45, and only 180 of them scored. Musculoskeletal carries 27.5 percent of those scored items. Neuromuscular carries 24.5. Your ten evenings are divided on the same proportions, and the exam tests your reasoning before it rewards your recall. Check us against FSBPT's published outline. We would rather you did.
What's inside
A 45-question diagnostic on Day 1, sized to one real exam section. You sit it before you read a word, and it names the system quietly costing you points.
695 original questions, every option explained. Right and wrong. Each one names the screen you skipped, the finding that rules a diagnosis out, or the intervention that is correct but not yet.
Two practice exams at 225 items, built in five blocks of 45 like the real sections. Test-day length stops being new information when you get there.
Two days on musculoskeletal and two on neuromuscular, because together they carry more than half the scored exam. Spine and pelvis first, then the extremities.
Three full days on non-system content: equipment and devices, safety and professional responsibilities, research and evidence-based practice. Easy points, and the first thing a rushed review drops.
Days sized for a phone, one idea per screen, so a gap between clinicals is long enough to finish one. Maybe you have bought a review book before that turned out to be a class outline with a quiz bolted on. Give this one three evenings. If the diagnostic shows you nothing about your weak systems that you had not already guessed, put it down. An evening is all it cost.
Three people get real use out of it. A DPT student sitting the licensure exam for the first time. A new graduate a few months out of the classroom. Someone coming back after a result that did not go their way. If outpatient orthopedics is already your day job, start at Day 3.
Day 7 is the medically complex patient, and it is a long evening. You'll get through it, and the referral question stops frightening you. 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.
