FAQs

TherapyEd is the publisher of the Review & Study Guides it sells, and it sets its own prices.  Sometimes people buy books from us and sell them somewhere else (such as Amazon), always at a higher price (sometimes much higher).  

Yes, we offer a Class Order discount for bulk purchases of the Review & Study Guides. The bulk order pricing and order form can be requested by phone or email.

Yes, because you have already bought the Review & Study Guide you can register for the course at the less expensive "Course without Guide" price. This way you do not end up buying the book twice when you take the course.

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 purchased it.

The PT and OT courses are each two full days. The PTA and OTA courses are one full day.

We ship from Illinois via UPS Ground with an expected arrival between 2-4 days, or we ship the book via UPS SurePost with expected arrival between 4-7 days.  Please note that both UPS and the USPS are experiencing delivery delays due to COVID-19.  

Because the FSBPT and NBCOT (the licensing and certification 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.

We recommend that students register at least 2 weeks prior to the course date.  This allows us to better estimate the number of Course Manuals to provide for distribution at class.  If necessary, you can register up to the day before or even the day of the course, however we cannot guarantee there will be enough Course Manuals available; in this case, we'll ship the manual to your home address and you'll receive it after 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.  This book is best used as part of your study plan after the course.

No audio or video recordings of the course are permitted.

Yes, this course is accepted by state boards as a remedial course. Once you complete the course we will send out a Certificate of Completion to you and the state board of your choice. Please email us after completing the course and we will send out the certificate of completion upon request.

Since we have moved all our exams online it is not possible to get a replacement USB.  We can offer access to the exams online if you have lost the original USB, but only for Editions in print in by 2018.  Call us toll-free at 888/369-0743, or at 847/328-5361 to purchase.  The cost is $75, and access to the online exams will be emailed to you at once.

We no longer offer the Review & Study Guides with USBs as we have moved all TherapyEd exams to our online portal.  If your USB from a past edition does not work, we may be able to replace it with online access if it was in print by 2018.  Older editions of TherapyEd's books no longer have replacement software access available.  Please call or email us to confirm.

Some university bookstores buy the book from us and have it available for students.  However, retail bookstores do not sell our books. The only place you are guaranteed availability of the most current version is on this site.

The NPTE Review & Study Guide is updated every year and the new edition comes out in the fall. For example, the 2019 NPTE Review & Study Guide first came out in mid-October, 2018.

The NBCOT Review & Study Guide is updated every two to four years to remain current with the exam outline.

The PTA and COTA Review & Study Guides are updated every two to five years.

We make every effort to give courses on the days they are scheduled for. On rare occasions where severe weather can close a school campus, we will have to re-schedule. If this is a possibility, we will notify you via email to let you know the status of the course.  A make-up class is scheduled as close to the original date as possible.

The Course Manual is only given out at the course and is not sold separately.

We offer a 30-day return policy for individual sales of the Review & Study Guides.  You can return your Review & Study Guide within 30 days of receiving your purchased book.  You will be refunded the full price of the text.  TherapyEd does not pay the cost of return shipping.  Returns are not accepted if the access code for the online exams has already been activated.
