How does it work?

  • 13 physical therapist programs are selected to compete from around the country.
  • Teams consist of four members, one acting as the team lead.
  • During the game, the moderator will pose a question to the teams. Each team will confer and agree on an answer that the team leader will reveal to the moderator. The moderator will announce the correct answer with the teams and audience and then begin a discussion in which both the teams and audience participate.
  • Team scores will be calculated and shared after each round.

It's a Win / Win for everyone!

  • The good news is that most of the questions that will be asked are on content you have already been exposed to during your academic training. By reviewing other resources, you not only increase your team's chance to win, you also prepare for the exam.
  • Even when you get the wrong answer, you win! The whole point of this event is to practice for the NPTE while learning. Each question will include a discussion about the correct answer.
  • Even if your team isn't selected you can join in on the fun. Faculty, PTs, PTAs, and physical therapist assistant students will be included in discussions. Cheer for your program or your colleagues!

Did we mention prizes?

  • Each winning team will be given a plaque and a $250 credit per team member toward their NPTE fees.
  • The top three teams will receive prize packages from Scorebuilders.
  • Audience members will be eligible for several raffle prizes.
