Johnson Physical Therapy Library: NPTE Prep.

Preparing for the NPTE

This page contains some links to resources that could be helpful as you prepare your study plan for the NPTE, some have already been purchased and some are external.  Neither the UIW Libraries nor the School of Physical Therapy are endorsing the purchase of external products but some students have found the resources useful.

Do not search the Internet for practice questions that other students have remembered from the NPTE.  See the NPTE Security page to see that recalling and sharing questions is illegal, unethical and would jeopardize your career

Always contact your UIW faculty advisors for additional information.
