CPTE mock exams in the real format, scored the way the real exam is scored

Eleven timed 100-question papers: six full-length mocks across the whole blueprint and six subject-wise exams for the two systems that carry 70% of the marks. Same clock, same tools, same question structure as the exam platform.

What the papers reproduce

The structure of the real exam

80 vignette-based questions — a two-to-four-sentence case followed by four linked questions in which the scenario evolves — then 20 stand-alone questions. Four options, one best answer, qualifiers like MOST and FIRST in capitals.

How it helps youReading a vignette once and answering four questions from it, as new information arrives, is a skill on its own. Most candidates meet it for the first time on exam day.
Question screen with options, timer and rationale

The tools you'll have on the day

Highlight key words, flag a question, review the list, change any answer before you submit, a timer that doesn't stop. Media questions with an image or clip, as in the real exam's enhanced multiple-choice items.

How it helps youYou should never be learning the interface during the exam. After twelve papers the tools are invisible and the questions are all you see.
Performance analysis by blueprint domain and body system

A rationale for every option, and a breakdown

After you submit: your score, a review of every question with why the right answer is right and each distractor wrong, and your results by blueprint domain and by body system, with the weakest area flagged.

How it helps youA mock you don't review is a wasted 2.5 hours. The rationales are where the learning is, and the breakdown tells you which system to study next rather than which you enjoy.
Topic quizzes with best scores

Subject-wise exams and topic quizzes underneath

Six 100-question subject papers (four musculoskeletal, two neurology), 15 topic quizzes released as each subject is taught, and 10 live quizzes with cohort ranking. No question is repeated across papers.

How it helps youMusculoskeletal and neurology are 70% of the CPTE. Drilling them at exam length, separately, is how a 55% on MSK becomes a pass.

Questions about the mocks

How closely do the mocks match the real CPTE written section?

Same length and clock (100 questions, 2.5 hours), same structure (80 vignette-based questions in sets of four, then 20 stand-alone), same tools (highlight, flag, review, change answers until you submit) and the same blueprint weighting: musculoskeletal 50%, neurological 20%, cardiovascular-respiratory 15%, other systems 15%.

How are they scored?

One point per correct answer and no negative marking, exactly as the real written section is scored, plus a scaled score for comparing attempts and a breakdown by blueprint domain and body system. The real exam reports a score for each section and a combined score, and the pass/fail decision rests on the combined score; a mock score is a guide to readiness, not a prediction of it.

Can I retake a full mock?

Yes, once: each full-length mock allows two attempts, and the review — every question with the rationale for all four options — stays open.

Are the subject-wise exams the same questions as the full mocks?

No. The six subject-wise papers (four musculoskeletal, two neurology) are separate 100-question sets, and no question appears in more than one paper.

Can I buy mock exams without the course?

Yes. Mock Starter (Exams 1 and 2, $99), Mock Pack (Exams 1 to 5, $149) or Complete Written Practice (all six exams and the 15 topic quizzes, $199), each with 3 months of access. Your login arrives by email after payment. See the packs.
