Online PEAT

[von]

PEAT stands for Practice Examination and Assessment Tool.
It is a “timed (4-hour), 200-question practice examination with the “look and feel” of the actual PHYSICAL THERAPIST exam
or a timed (3 ½ hour) 150-question practice examination with the “look and feel” of the actual PHYSICAL THERAPIST ASSISTANT exam.
Practice exam questions have been developed by experienced clinicians and item writers in the same format as the NPTE.”



More Info:

What do I get?

• An immediate, online Performance Report in three parts : by content category according to the “exam blueprint,” by system and by intervention (intervention is available only on PT PEAT) to see how well you did on the practice exam and to show you what you need to study.
  
• Rationales explaining the reasons behind the correct answers.
  
• References for further research.
  
• A chance to take the same practice examination a second time for additional practice. For PTA PEAT you will be able to take a different practice examination the second time.
  
• Supplemental Materials to download and print. These are yours to keep. You can also purchase these materials for an additional $40 if you choose not to download them. The supplemental materials include information about NPTE construction, tips on how to use the test blueprint and PEAT in your exam preparation, and more.
  
• As much time as you need to review the Supplemental Materials; your access days are not counted until you log onto the practice examination.
  
• The ability to log on and off at will—the computer will remember your place.
  
• The opportunity to request additional access time at a discounted rate.
  

Why Should I Use Online PEAT?

• The FSBPT Online PEAT for the Physical Therapist and Physical Therapist Assistant Examination has been developed by the organization that administers the NPTE. What better source for a practice and assessment tool to help you prepare for this critical step on your career path?
  
• Practicing with a timed examination will help you learn how to pace yourself for the real NPTE.
  
• PEAT provides you with a rationale for why the correct answer for each question is correct. Understanding the rationales is an important component of exam preparation.
  
• If you experience some test anxiety, practicing with PEAT can help you become accustomed to the way a timed computer-based exam functions. This may help reduce anxiety on exam day. In school your exams may have been given as paper and pencil exams.
  
• If you are not familiar with taking a computer-based exam, PEAT mimics the actual NPTE delivery very closely. You can learn on PEAT so you will be comfortable when you take the NPTE.

How Does PEAT Compare With Exam Review Materials?

• It is the only practice and assessment tool that comes to you from the people who develop, maintain and administer the NPTE. You can rely on the format and questions to give you a feel for the real thing.
  
• It provides you with immediate and automatic scoring for your timed, online practice examination.
  
• You receive a detailed Performance Report by content area, system and intervention (intervention is only available with PT PEAT).
  
• Rationales and References provide you with the resources to increase your knowledge.
  
• You get a clear picture of your knowledge base and what you most need to study.

What Does My Computer Need To Enable Me To Use PEAT?

• Adobe Acrobat Reader installed and operational (downloadable free from the site).
  
• 2 MB of free hard disk space.

• 56K connection to the Internet or faster; slower connections can be used but with decreased performance.
