NPTAE practice questions - frequently asked questions

Plain answers about how NPTAE 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 NPTAE exam tests. Each one comes with a plain-language explanation of why the right answer is right and the others aren't.

The NPTAE exam spans 14 domains: Cardiovascular & Pulmonary Systems (17% of the exam); Musculoskeletal System (25% of the exam); Neuromuscular & Nervous Systems (22% of the exam); Integumentary System (4% of the exam); Metabolic & Endocrine Systems (4% of the exam); Gastrointestinal System (1% of the exam); Genitourinary System (1% of the exam); Lymphatic System (3% of the exam); System Interactions (4% of the exam); Equipment, Devices, & Technologies (6% of the exam); Therapeutic Modalities (4% of the exam); Safety & Protection (5% of the exam); Professional Responsibilities (2% of the exam); Research & Evidence-Based Practice (2% 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%; Neuromuscular & Nervous Systems 22%; Cardiovascular & Pulmonary Systems 17%; Equipment, Devices, & Technologies 6%; Safety & Protection 5%; Integumentary System 4%; Metabolic & Endocrine Systems 4%; System Interactions 4%; Therapeutic Modalities 4%; Lymphatic System 3%; Professional Responsibilities 2%; Research & Evidence-Based Practice 2%; Gastrointestinal System 1%; Genitourinary System 1%.
