Post NPTE Celebration
The majority of the 2018 Doctor of Physical Therapy class just took the April National Physical Therapy Exam on Wednesday. Currently, all of us are very anxiously/nervously awaiting the results of the exam. It usually take between 5-7 days for the results to be posted. The exam is essentially what we have been preparing for over the past 3 years and will allow us to work as Doctors of Physical Therapy.
The examination was 250 multiple-choice questions with a 5 hour time limit and a 15 minute break after the second set of 50 questions. What is crazy about this exam is that 50 of the questions are “potential future questions” and are not even counted towards the end score. Therefore, the exam is out of 200 questions and is scored on a 200-800 scale with a score of 600 or greater considered passing.
With all that being said, after the exam a few of my classmates who tested at the same time and place got together for a much deserved cold beer. I think the smiles are all in relief of being done with that exam! Praying for passing scores!
A little post-board exam celebration. A cold beer and good vibes were much needed after the 5 hour NPTE this past week.
