S: The title of this blog is a link to the federation of state boards physical therapy NPTE pass rates. In the Newsweek magazine for 3/26/2007 there are advertisements for Physical Therapy schools. One school showed a pass rate of 100%, but what does that mean?
O: The pass rate refers to the number of graduates from a physical therapy program who pass the national boards and are able to practice as physical therapists. The advertisement that showed a 100% pass rate didn't state how many times the students had to take the exam before they passed. Should students looking at physical therapy schools ask how many students passed on their first attempt? This is called the "first time pass rate."
A: A student can decide what school has good pass rates by looking at the fsbpt website.
P: I plan on blogging more on a physical therapy topic in a couple of days.
