-
What is the CPTE, and who conducts it?
The Canadian Physiotherapy Competency Exam (CPTE) is conducted by the Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators (CAPR). It evaluates whether internationally educated and Canadian-trained physiotherapists meet national entry-to-practice standards. The exam includes a Written and an Oral component.
-
How many questions are on the CPTE Written Section?
The written portion typically includes 100 multiple-choice questions completed over approximately 2.5 hours. Each question tests applied knowledge and safe clinical reasoning across major physiotherapy domains.
-
How can I pass the CPTE exam in Canada on my first attempt?
To improve your chances of success, combine content review with strategy. Practice regularly using CPTE practice questions and mock tests, review rationales carefully, and simulate timed exam sessions. Candidates who consistently score above 80% on PTStudyBuddy mocks often report strong CPTE outcomes.
-
What topics are covered in the mock exams?
Our mocks reflect the CAPR Blueprint, covering musculoskeletal, neurology, cardiorespiratory, and professional practice areas. Each domain is proportionally weighted to match the official exam distribution.
-
How do written mocks help prepare for the oral component?
Strong written reasoning translates directly to oral success. Practicing structured clinical vignettes sharpens your decision-making, prioritization, and justification — all essential for the oral component of the CPTE exam format.
-
Why choose PTStudyBuddy for CPTE prep?
PTStudyBuddy offers Blueprint-aligned mock exams with evidence-based rationales and flagging tools. Our questions are written by licensed Canadian physiotherapists with CPTE experience, ensuring realistic scenarios and trusted explanations.
-
Can I pause or exit a mock during the session?
No — exiting or closing your browser resets the mock. Complete it in one sitting for accurate analytics and scoring. However, you can revisit rationales anytime afterward without time limits.
-
Are mock scores predictive of actual CPTE results?
Mock scores provide a readiness estimate but not an exact prediction. Candidates who show consistent improvement and achieve 80%+ typically demonstrate higher confidence and preparedness for the real exam.
-
When should I begin practicing mock exams?
Start 6–8 weeks before your scheduled exam date. Begin with learning-focused attempts, then move to timed simulations. In the final two weeks, focus on test endurance and quick reasoning.
-
What system requirements should I know before writing the CPTE?
The CPTE is delivered online under remote proctoring. Ensure stable internet, an updated browser, and a distraction-free setting. PTStudyBuddy’s platform is optimized for Chrome, Safari, and Edge and supports accessibility tools.
