Great tool for studying. Much more helpful than other tools found online.
Achievable is the best resource I've found. More so than with other resources I've tried, I find the material "sticks" with Achievable's system of introducing new material, followed by review quizzes to master previous readings. It's incredibly easy to use, anywhere you are (at home on a desktop, laptop, or away with your mobile device) and actually interesting to read. Every other guide I've tried reads like stereo instructions.
Easy to use and breaks down the test in easy-to-understand language. Worth it and I feel a lot more comfortable and ready for my exam!
Been studying for this for a week and this helped me more than the 300-page textbook I read. Thank you. I've been studying for these exams for almost 6 months and have been SO confused. Now I understand! Wow! You made it so clear! Thank you so much!
I think this program is very thought out and well organized. Being able to see things in their subjects was very good to see.
Great job explaining concepts in enough detail to understand them and feel prepared and confident to take the exam.
Very thorough with straightforward information. Website is also very easy to navigate. I would highly recommend.
Advanced personalization
Achievable NPTE-PTA exam prep uses adaptive learning techniques to create and update a personalized model of your memory, individually tracking your retention and mastery of each NPTE-PTA exam learning objective. Our learning engine monitors your study progress and continually adjusts your quiz questions to ensure you're focusing on the topics that matter most for you, improving study effectiveness while reducing overall study time.
Full-length PTA practice exams
Practice with five full NPTE-PTA exams' worth of questions: a 140-question full exam with the real exam's four hours, and 16 section sets of 35 questions, an hour each. The real exam adds 40 unscored questions to the 140 it scores. Every exam is cut to FSBPT's content outline: the full exam holds each of its fourteen categories at the weight the outline gives it, and no question appears on two exams. The section sets include images, video and case studies, and your results show where to focus before test day.
PTA review quizzes
Continually reviewing the material you've learned while studying is essential, but you need more than simple NPTE-PTA flashcards. In addition to our practice exams, our NPTE-PTA study materials include 1.5k+ chapter quiz questions, each with an explanation, so you can drill the key facts for any body system or chapter.
