Predicting Doctor of Physical Therapy First-Time Pass Rates on the National Physical Therapy Examination

This study by Latoya Green investigates the relationship between cognitive variables such as professional graduate GPA, PEAT, HSRT, and NPTE to predict first-time pass rates on the National Physical Therapy Examination. The Health Sciences Reasoning Test (HSRT) measures critical thinking in a healthcare context, while the Practice Exam & Assessment Tool (PEAT) provides detailed performance reports. The methodology and results indicate the significance of GPA, HSRT, and PEAT in understanding Physical Therapy students' outcomes. The study concludes by discussing the application and relevance of findings for the field.

1. Predicting Doctor of Physical Therapy First-Time Pass Rates on the National Physical Therapy Examination Using Cognitive Variables LATOYA GREEN

2. Purpose of Study The purpose of the assessment investigation was to determine whether a relationship exists among the following variables: professional graduate grade point average (GPA), the retired form of the Practice Exam & Assessment Tool (PEAT), Health Sciences Reasoning Test (HSRT), and National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE).

3. Health Sciences Reasoning Test (HSRT) HSRT is a critical thinking test written specifically for health care. Questions are set within a health care context. The test is a multiple-choice test that is administered with 45 to 50 minutes. The test contains five subscale critical thinking areas: analysis and interpretation, inference, evaluation and explanation, deductive reasoning, and inductive reasoning.

4. Practice Exam & Assessment Tool (PEAT) The PEAT has the same format and type of questions as the NPTE. A detailed performance report by content area and system is provided after taking the PEAT. The PEAT provides explanations and rationales behind correct answers.

5. Methodology Physical Therapy Students GPA HSRT PEAT

6. Results Physical Therapy Students GPA HSRT PEAT

7. Summary and Conclusion Application and Relevance
