TherapyEd's 2010 NPTE Review & Study Guide , by Susan O'Sullivan and Raymond Siegelman prepares students for the NPTE with a comprehensive review of physical therapy content, study and test-taking strategies, state licensure information, and three complete simulated exams on CD. Each of the 600 questions has complete rationales for all correct and incorrect choices and a second critical reasoning rationale identifies the reasoning strategy used (inductive, deductive, analysis, inference, or evaluation), methodology required, and specific area of knowledge needed to correctly answer the question. The software (PC and Mac compatible) analyzes results by content area, domain, and critical reasoning skill and helps pinpoint strengths and weaknesses for a more efficient and effective academic review. 

The TherapyEd Review and Study Guide is the only Guide that is updated every year to insure students have the best and most accurate information about the NPTE. The 2010 version has over 100 new and revised practice questions in many areas including: Gastronintstinal, Metabolic, Genitourinary, Integumentary, Endocrine, Multisystem, and Evidence Based Practice. A second color was added to make the text easier to read and use including color headings, tabs, graphs, tables and all artwork. A new Imaging Appendix of X-Rays, CT scans, MRI’s and bone scans was created along with a new index.
