FAQs

Yes, we offer a Class Order discount for bulk purchases of the Review & Study Guides. The bulk order pricing and order form can be found here:

Is this true even though I bought the book someplace other than from TherapyEd?

Yes. Just check the box indicating you already have the book and then enter the month and year (approximately) you got it.

Yes, we ship our textbooks all around the world. The shipping and handling to send the book to Canada is $25. Shipping and handling cost to ship it to other countries is $50. It usually takes from 7-10 days to arrive depending on the country being shipped to. Please note, our Review & Study Guides are only intended to prepare you for US licensure exams.

We ship the book from Illinois via UPS Ground with an expected arrival between 2-4 days, or we ship the book via USPS media mail and expected arrival is within 5-10 days.

Because the FSBPT and NBCOT (the licensing bodies) do not release the exams there is no way to precisely correlate the TherapyEd practice exams to the actual exams. Nonetheless, our experience over 25 years has found that if you score 80% or better on the practice exams you should do well on the actual exam. If you score in the range of 70% you are borderline, and if you are below 70% more studying is indicated.

There is no deadline to sign-up for a course. However we recommend that students register at least 2 weeks prior to the course date if possible.  This allows us to better estimate the number of Course Manuals to have available for distribution at class.  If necessary you can register up to the day before or even the day of the course.  

You are not required to have the Review & Study Guide in the course itself.  When you attend the course, you will receive the Course Manual and follow the instructor's presentation.  These materials are unique to the class and not duplicated in the Review & Study Guide.  If you register late for the course you can use standard shipping and receive the Review & Study Guide after the course with no problem.

No audio or video recordings of the course are permitted.

 Troubleshooting USB Practice Exam Errors

Please note that this software downloads to your computer's hard drive.  The latest Adobe Air program is needed to be able to open and use the practice exam software (in the same way you need Adobe Acrobat to open a PDF document).  Most people need to install or upgrade the Adobe Air reader on their computer.

Refer to the instructions below if you received a message similar to the following:

"The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author.”

1.  Go to http://get.adobe.com/air to download the latest adobe air software.

2.  Restart your computer.

3.  Reinsert the CD or USB.  Choose "Click here for Mac" or "Click her for PC".

4.  Locate the file that ends with ".AIR"

2.  Right click this file and select "Open with..."

3.  Select "Adobe Air" to open the file.

If you are still getting an error message:

1. Open the Control Panel, or About This Mac, to locate the Operating System (OS) you are using, the Processor speed (X.XXGHz), and the available physical memory.
2. Next, open the Adobe Air website and COMPARE the SYSTEM REQUIRMENTS.
3. Be sure you're using an Administrator Account or User account with permission to download programs on the computer.
4. To ensure your Practice Exam has started, you will see a new window open welcoming you to the Practice Exam

For MAC Users:

If your OS is 10.12.10 or later, please follow this recommended link: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/45404/mac-downloaded-app-is-damaged-and-cant-be-opened-error-solved/.  The latest Mac Operating Systems only allow downloads from the Mac store, and that security setting will need to be changed.

 As a recommendation, before starting your exams:

1. Allow the software to generate the first RANDOM exam to ensure you are being properly tested on ALL Domains, Categories, & Content. Leave all boxes Un-Checked under Domain, Categories, or Content in order to generate this random exam and select Start Exam.
2. WHEN EXITING the exam, be sure to click the Exit Exam button on the top right and/or by clicking the “X” button closing the window. This will ensure your progress is stored.
