Hi Hessa,

If you were able to buy Susan Sulivan's book "National Physical Therapy Examination" review and study guide, the first few pages would outline how exams are being done and the last part of the review guide are the sample questionnaires and answers.

Briefly, here's the content outline for NPTE:
1. Assessment and evaluation: 24% or 48 questions
2. Assessment and planning 22% or 44 questions
3.Intervention-54% or 108 questions
a.Preparation -20 questions
b.Implementation-56 questions
c.Education/Communication/Consultation-14 questions
d.Supporting activities/ethihcs/Administration-16 questions
e.System-specific procedures-12 questions

Each state will have different requirements. Some states will require the candidates to pass the exmaination concerning laws, rules and regulations governing physical therapy in that state which is called jurisprudence examination.

Test of English proficiency maybe required.

Kindly read on the book that I have mentioned above and you will understand more of its contents.

Regards and goodluck
