Hi Jo,
I just saw your post. I am sitting my exam in march as well. Did you find some more information?
Cheers Katja

Hi Katja, no I did not get a reply. I am just starting to update in neuro and respiratory which I do not regularly work in. Have you managed to find out anything? Jo

Hi Katja and Jo,
I too am sitting the written exam in March 2013 in the UK. I only graduated this summer and have been working in a private MSK outpatients since.
I haven't found much help apart from the APC website which is minimal. Have either of you joined the AAPTA? There are some past papers there which are a bit of help...
I live in Leeds so I don't know if you guys would be up for meeting up or setting up some study sessions as I really really don't want to fail this exam!

Hi Jo and Siobhan,

No have not found out anything. I might go to the Physio Briding Course in February in Melbourne. I guess that is probably the best preparation.
I will also update on Neuro and Respiratory as this will be my weakness too.

Hi Katja,
i did think about doing the bridging course but with I being spread over 3 weekends it would mean 3 weeks in oz with the family and the cost that it involves so I have decided to give it a miss. I am going to write a revision list this weekend to ensure that I cover what I should, have you done any prep yet?

Hi siobhan,
i am now entered for the march exam but the only past questionnaires that I have been able to find was 10 questions on the council website once I logged in. How did you find the AAPTA site as it says its under construction, did you find other stuff there. I live in Wiltshire but would be interested in meeting up as I need to pass first time as tight deadlines as I start my job in October 13! I might look at the bridging course but a long way to go and it would mean 3 weeks there as its over 3 weekends. I have worked privately in mask for a longtime but need to concentrate on the neuro and resp components as well.jo
