How many times may I take the NPTE exam?
An applicant who fails to achieve a passing score may retake the exam without limitation. However, you may only take the NPTE exam a maximum of 3 times in any 12 month period. You should verify that your application and fee with the Michigan Board of Physical Therapy is still current before sending in your re-exam application and fee.
