Scorebuilders is pleased to announce the release of the new editions of our best selling review books entitled PTEXAM: The Complete Study Guide and PTAEXAM: The Complete Study Guide. The new editions have been updated to coincide with the release of the new PT and PTA Content Outline from the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy. The new edition enhancements will be of great benefit to students preparing for the National Physical Therapy Examinations.

New Edition Features:

  • The academic review section has been completely redesigned to model the categorization system used within the new Content Outline.

  • A unit has been added to the academic review to address the inclusion of “Other Systems” within the new Content Outline. The category has been subdivided into metabolic and endocrine, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and multi-systems for PTs and metabolic and endocrine, gastrointestinal, and multi-systems for PTAs.

  • An expanded research and evidence-based practice section has been added to the academic review due to the increased emphasis placed on research (PT only) and evidence-based practice (PT and PTA) within the new Content Outline.

  • An executive summary was developed for the Clinical Application Templates section. The summary provides candidates with a rapid reminder of critical information associated with each of the diagnoses (60 PT, 50 PTA) covered in the section.

  • A unit entitled “Study Concepts” has been incorporated into the new edition. The unit consists of ten study concepts dealing with a wide range of topics including learning style, time management, golden rules, truths and myths, designing a study plan, assessment, automaticity, and levels of knowledge and understanding.

  • Selected questions have been added to each of the examinations to ensure that there is ample representation from each of the new Content Outline categories.

  • All questions have been reclassified according to the new System Specific and Content Outline categories. The new classification system has been adopted in the performance analysis sections for each of the four computer-based sample examinations.

Scorebuilders strives to ensure that our review products provide candidates with the most current information available for the National Physical Therapy Examinations. The retail price of the book and the group volume discount schedule remain the same as the previous edition and is described in full on our web site. We look forward to introducing the new editions and assisting you to meet your goal of passing the National Physical Therapy Examinations on your first attempt.
