There are several options for preparing to take the National (FSBPT) PTA Licensure exam. The exam is administered by Prometric Testing Services and is entirely computer-based. We strongly recommend that those taking the exam practice taking multiple, full-length computer-based practice exams as there is some “art” to taking computer-based exams.There are many organizations that offer written and on-line study guides as well as live review courses; inclusion in the list below does not indicate endorsement of any particular organization.
