In July of 2016, the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (FSBPT) announced new TOEFL requirements for eligibility to take the National Physical Therapy Exam (NPTE), going into effect in 2018. FSBPT’s eligibility requirements for the NPTE do not change the TOEFL score requirements for Type 1 Review. FCCPT continues to be able to combine Speaking and Combined scores from separate examination dates.
