PTA Exam Review & Study Guide

TherapyEd’s O’Sullivan & Siegelman PTA Examination Review & Study Guide has been the best-selling guide for the NPTE for over 15 years.  Revised and updated by noted PTA educator Karen Ryan, the text is up-to-date for the current PTA exam. It features:

  • Comprehensive content review in a clear and concise outline format,
  • Engaging, full-color graphics,
  • 3 complete online simulated exams with 450 rigorous Multiple Choice items,
  • Insightful Score Reports to identify individual strengths and weaknesses,
  • Study hints, test-taking strategies, and access to the TherapyEd Learning Portal,
  • Topic area mini-exams for practice in specific content areas, domains, and critical reasoning skills.

The comprehensive content review and rigorous practice exam questions make sure students are ready for anything that may appear on the exam. The questions are designed to match, or slightly exceed, the level of difficulty and complexity found on the real exam to make sure students who prepare with TherapyEd are fully ready to succeed on the real, high-stakes NPTE.

What makes TherapyEd’s Review & Study Guide the best in the profession is it’s focus on content excellence. Dr. O’Sullivan is the co-author of the foundational Physical Therapy text “Physical Rehabilitation” and is recognized as a leader in the profession. Dr. Siegelman has been helping students pass the exam for almost 30 years and provides a keen understanding of the exam makeup and the complexities of the exam blueprint. Karen Ryan is a distinguished PTA educator who brings a wealth of practical experience to the guide.  She works with a team of expert content contributors to make sure all topics are covered at the depth and level of expertise needed to ensure students are ready for the exam.
