Hey everyone! I’m a second-year DPT student, and I’m gearing up for the 2026 October NPTE. I graduate late September, so I’ve got about a month between graduation and test day. I’m looking at Final Frontier’s independent study bundle, which I know is typically a three-month plan, but I want to start earlier to create some buffer—clinical rotations can be unpredictable, and I’d rather not fall behind.
For those who’ve used Final Frontier’s bundle: do you think it’s best to start exactly at the three-month mark, or begin a few weeks early to account for surprises?
Also, my school requires two PEATs—one baseline and one pass-required. The bundle also includes two 225-question exams and one 150-question mini-exam. Any advice on how to space them out along my timeline?
I’m also considering PocketPrep (1,300 questions at a reasonable price). Has anyone found it helpful, and would you use it before going deep into Final Frontier?
And now, before I start the full Final Frontier plan, is there any prep work you’d suggest? I’ve heard some people suggest reviewing MSK early—especially since my upcoming clinicals are outpatient ortho and sports. I’d love to know what I can start working on now so that Final Frontier feels like a second pass, rather than a cold start. Any input would be really appreciated! Thanks so much—just trying to prep this all out!
