As students prepare to take specialty examinations in physical therapy, much of their time and focus is justifiably spent studying the content of the text they are taking, orthopaedics, sports, geriatrics, etc. However, just as important is to spend some time preparing for how to take the exam, and understanding its structure and design, as well as identifying and reducing the type and numbers of errors you make as a test taker.
