What your students practice

The NPTE-PTA is the National Physical Therapy Examination for Physical Therapist Assistants, developed by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (FSBPT) and used by state boards to license PTAs. It has 180 multiple-choice questions in four sections of 45, with 4 hours of testing time; 140 are scored and 40 are unscored pretest items. The content outline in effect since January 2024 weights musculoskeletal (31 to 40 scored items), neuromuscular and nervous (27 to 35) and cardiovascular and pulmonary (20 to 27) most. Scores are scaled from 200 to 800, and the passing standard in every jurisdiction is 600.

Tigertest's practice follows The FSBPT NPTE-PTA Test Content Outline (effective January 2024) and the NPTE Candidate Handbook (version 2025.02), checked November 2026. Students train in short sets where missed questions come back until they are mastered, then take full practice tests.

Questions teachers ask

Is the NPTE-PTA class free?

Yes. Classes are free for teachers. A student in your class also gets that test's full stats and every step of it at no charge.

Do my students need accounts?

No. A student opens your class link, types the name you know them by and starts practicing. An account is optional and keeps their progress across devices.

What do I see as the teacher?

Who practiced and when, each student's practice test scores, the NPTE-PTA topics the class is weakest on, and every question the class answered with how many missed it and which wrong answer they picked.

Can I use my own questions too?

Yes. Any account can turn its own material into a Tigertest quiz and limit it to one class, so only your students can play it.
