Physiotherapy Competency Examination in Canada

[confusedPT]

hello guys!

Im new to this site and Im going to take the written exam this coming november, im from vancouver, is there any of you here who knows where to find some practice questions. I took the exam last july but unfortunately I failed, I guess it took me by surprise because the questions are very vague and the answers are nowhere to be found (some says it logical--i agree). Even american or australian nationsl questions are well appreciated. Anybosy can email me - [email protected]. Thanks.

Hi All,

I am a physio working in London and I am currently going through the process of obtaining accreditation to sit for the PCE. I am hoping to sit in July. From what I am gathering here, very little is known about the exam unless one has done it before. It seems unnecessarily difficult to prepare for.

However, I am open to any advice that anyone can give. The huge reading list given by the Alliance is close to useless for preparing for an exam; i.e read all the physio books known to humankind. Any guides on 3 or 4 core texts?

What are the exams trying to test? Basic knowledge? differential diagnoses? I'm just trying to get a steer on how to study.

Are there any physios who have cyber study groups?

Hi,

For you wanting to pass the theoretical, please look up my previous posts.

NOT all the books on the Alliance list are useful.

I mentioned what was most important.

Now I am looking into Scott M. Giles PTEXAM, to see how useful it would be for the practial.

Will tell you my opinion next week.

Until "desperately seeking Susan"=study partners for practical exam.

Best wishes.
