Carry out the plan. Know when to stop.
Interventions, data collection and the conditions that shape treatment, system by system — at PTA scope, with the supervising PT’s decisions left as the PT’s.
Which of the following is a task that a physical therapist assistant (PTA) is NOT permitted to perform?
The initial examination and the evaluation are performed exclusively by the supervising PT because they require the clinical judgment used to interpret findings and establish the diagnosis and prognosis. Objective range-of-motion measurement on an established patient is data collection, which is squarely within PTA scope. Carrying out an intervention written into the plan of care is the central role of the PTA. Reporting the patient's response to the PT is an expected and required PTA communication duty.
Carry out the plan, system by system.

Five things built for the PTA.
Every plan opens everything. These are the five that matter most for this exam, shown the way you’ll meet them.
Twelve full-length forms of 180
The real paper is 180 questions, 140 of them scored. Every full-length form here is 180 items — the same shape. Weighted across the FSBPT body systems the way the exam is. 2,794 original questions in all, counted once.
- Timed, or in tutor mode explaining as you go
- A form of only what you got wrong
Every form with its real size. Difficulty is the form’s own rating.
A male and a female body you can turn, peel and quiz
Every system a switch, every structure a name, a definition and a door to Axon. The heart beats, the lungs breathe. Peel from skin to muscle to organs to bone, paint your own scores onto it to see where you are weak, and let Find it quiz you by tap.
- Two reference bodies, openly licensed and credited
- Your scores painted on it, red to green, from every answer
- On your phone too: it folds to a sheet

A drawing of the idea; the course’s bodies are openly licensed 3D models. Colours are example scores.
A tutor who asks what you do first — and why
Say what you are stuck on, out loud. Axon teaches the section in the voice of the physical therapist assistant licensing exam (FSBPT), draws the reasoning on a board as it speaks, and quizzes you on it before it moves on. It knows your syllabus, your weak spots and where you left off.

“Day two after a total hip, her heart rate has gone from 78 to 128 on the walk and she is short of breath. Before you decide anything — whose decision is the next one, and what do you do right now?”
Sixteen lectures. A check after every section.
89 sections, each closed by its own knowledge check. Select any word on any page and Define opens a one-line meaning, why it matters and what it connects to — written for this exam.
Four of the 16 lectures, by their real titles. The bars are an example of checks passed. Audio narration for NPTE-PTA is on its way; the text is all here today.
Every wrong answer gets its own reason
Each explanation says why the right answer is right and why each distractor fails — the exact line you would want if you had picked it. Every item is checked blind by a second AI model that never sees the key. This one is a real item from the On-level 1 form.
A patient tells the PTA, 'I don't want to do the electrical stimulation today.'
The PTA should:
One price. Everything open. A free day to decide.
Before you start
Are the lectures PTA-specific?
Two are written for the PTA — data collection, and the PTA’s role, supervision and safety. The body-system lectures are shared from our NPTE-PT course and read at PTA scope: you carry out the plan of care; evaluating, diagnosing and changing the plan belong to the physical therapist.
Are these real exam questions?
No. Every item is original, written to the public content outline and checked blind by a second AI model that never sees the key. Nothing is copied from a published form, and we are not affiliated with any examining board.
