Practice questions

Learn the reasoning behind every answer

The CPTE rewards clinical reasoning: what to do FIRST, which option is BEST for this client. Every explanation walks through why the right answer wins and why the others don't, using current Canadian standards and guidelines.

  • Original vignette-based questions written to the CPTE Blueprint 2025
  • Trap answers called out, like treating before ruling out a red flag
  • Practice by topic or mixed, with instant feedback

  • Topic accuracy updates after every question
  • Mock exam scores plotted against your target line
  • The Today list sends you to your weakest topic first

  • Special tests, red flags, clinical rules and standards that get tested
  • 15 new cards a day, so reviews never pile up
  • Mastery feeds straight into your Readiness Score

Questions before you buy

Can I try it before I pay?

Yes. Open the study dashboard free with no signup, or take any exam's free practice test. You only pay when you want the full question bank, timed simulations and every study tool.

What if I buy it and it's not for me?

Because you get the full question bank and study materials the moment you pay, all sales are final. Try the free test and the free dashboard first so you know it suits you. The one exception is the Pass Guarantee: complete the full prep, and if you still fail, we refund 100%.

What if I study and still fail?

That's what the Pass Guarantee is for. Answer every question in the bank, read every study topic, pass 2 timed simulations and reach a Readiness Score of 80, then sit your exam within 60 days. If you don't pass, send your result notice within 30 days and we refund 100%.

Is it a subscription?

Yes. Premium is C$207 a month per exam (about C$6.81 a day) and renews monthly until you cancel. You can cancel in two clicks from your account, and there's no minimum term. Most people study for 1 to 3 months. If you want a whole year for one exam, the yearly plan is C$1,863 for 12 months (3 months free) and renews once a year until you cancel.

How long do I keep access?

For as long as your Premium subscription is active. Cancel any time from your account and you keep access until the end of the month you've paid for.

Are these real exam questions?

No one can legally sell the actual exam questions. Ours are original vignette-based and stand-alone questions written to the CPTE Blueprint 2025 and current Canadian practice standards and guidelines, with an explanation for every answer and the reasoning behind it, so you can check our work.

Is the content up to date?

We check every exam page against CAPR's current published information and show the date it was last checked. In 2026 that included the new CPTE format (Oral Section 60%, Written Section 40%), the CPTE Blueprint 2025 weightings and the C$2,500 fee for 2026 and 2027 dates.

Does it help with the Oral Section?

Yes, in part. Our questions are multiple-choice, like the Written Section, but each vignette is a client case covering the same domains the oral cases test: assessment, care planning, client safety, professional responsibilities, collaboration and communication. Explain your answer aloud before you reveal it, and use CAPR's own oral practice tools to rehearse the 15-minute format.

Are you affiliated with CAPR?

No. CPTEExamPrep is an independent exam-prep company, not affiliated with or endorsed by the Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators (CAPR) or any provincial or territorial physiotherapy regulator. Canadian Physiotherapy Examination, CPTE, PCE and CAPR are names and marks of the Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators, used only to describe the exam we help you prepare for.
