PT Online Office Hours
We believe in helping students prepare for and pass the NPTE. As part of our efforts to help every student succeed on the exam, we offer FREE Online Office Hours to give students a way to ask questions and prepare for the exam even after the course has ended. Online Office Hours are held once a week, on Wednesdays from 7:00 – 8:00pm ET. Moderated by an experienced TherapyEd instructor, our Online Office Hours give students a way to extend their studying and get extra help. Log-in, ask questions, and get personalized help while also learning from other students’ questions.
Our instructors will begin office hours with a focused review of important exam content areas and then answer questions related to that topic, any other topic, or on test-taking strategies. The content areas covered in upcoming weeks will be:
