Are there are study guides that you are using? I'm working with NPTE prep books out of desperation, can anyone give feed back on this?
Hi,

If you go to the Canadian Alliance web site there is a blue print of everything you need to cover. I am using the NPTE study book also, but you need to realize that the Canadian exam is not the same as the American one. From taking the Uni of BC course you discover that there are a lot of differences in techniques, values etc, also different areas of treatment, drugs used, terminology etc. If you have time you may find doing the online Uni of BC course Helps. I was trained in the UK, for example in using manipulations, their terminology is the reverse of what we use!

On the Alliance web site there is also a reading list, many of those books are helpful, but you have to be careful with the values in some of them as they are the US values which vary from the Canadian. I found the Canadian ones vary from the UK ones. Happy days. Have you also checked out the professional stuff, search for the physio register in the province you are considering working and you can read up on it there.

They say you receive exam pk 2 weeks before exam! A friend has just received her confirmation today, but not the exam pack.

Hope this helps and good luck.

PS Where are you sitting your exam?
