The Faculty Portal

Everything you need to track your students' progress. All in one place.

Every student's practice, quizzes, mock exams and video progress feeds into one place. You see the whole class at a glance and any individual student in one click.

See where your students are weakest and need the most guidance

Track your cohort across all 15 NPTE content areas. Open any body system and you get the breakdown by category and by difficulty, so you can tell the difference between a class that does not know the material and a class that only falls apart on the hard questions.

  • Every content area grouped into body systems, special areas and non-system areas
  • Category detail across Differential Diagnosis, Examination and Interventions
  • Difficulty detail across Easy, Medium and Hard
Performance by System panel broken down by category and difficulty across all 15 NPTE content areas

Identify at-risk students and build them a plan

Every student gets a Pass Readiness Score built from their Q-Bank accuracy, mock exam results and study consistency. Students who fall below passing are flagged automatically, so you can step in early and create a plan to help them pass.

Open any student and you see how they are doing, how consistently they are studying, and what to assign them next.

  • Pass Readiness Score that updates as the student practices
  • Automatic flagging when a student is not on track to pass, so you can guide them before it is too late
  • Consistency and scores together, so you get the full picture of how each student is progressing and how often they are actually studying
  • A written summary of what the student is struggling with and what to do about it

Assign work and build your own exams

Assign practice sets, mock exams, video lectures or flashcard decks to one student, a group of at-risk students, or the whole class. Build your own quizzes and exams, or pull from the full Q-Bank and Video Course library.

  • Target anyone from a single student to an auto-selected at-risk group to the entire cohort
  • Track completion with In Progress, Upcoming, Overdue and Completed views
  • Gradebook view showing every student against every assignment
  • Your own library for the quizzes, exams and materials you create

Ask the built-in AI assistant

Ask a question in plain English and get an answer right away. No filtering, no exporting, no digging through tables.

  • Which students are weakest in Cardiovascular?
  • Who hasn't practiced this week?
  • Who improved the most this month?

It answers with the actual students and their numbers, then recommends the questions and lectures those students need. You can assign the work directly from the answer.

Track progress over time

Every student and every cohort has a performance trend showing their score over time against the cohort average and the passing line. You see at a glance whether a student is climbing toward passing or drifting away from it.

  • Score trend for every student and cohort, week over week
  • Cohort average plotted alongside each student, with the passing line marked
  • Exportable reports for program review and CAPTE accreditation, including cohort performance by content area and a pass readiness roster

Only on Typical PT

The Adaptive Study Calendar

We take every product and put it on one plan, so students spend their time studying instead of figuring out what to study.

Students no longer need to build their own study plan

When life gets in the way and plans fall apart, the calendar builds them a brand new one. It takes the guesswork out, so the only thing a student has to focus on is studying and passing.

The student takes a diagnostic and picks their exam date. From there the calendar works out how many hours a day they can study, which days of the week work, and what they need to take off. Then it builds a full schedule from today through test day.

  • Exam date
  • Diagnostic results
  • Hours per day
  • Study days
  • Days off
  • Mock exam frequency

It rebuilds every day

Miss a day, fall behind, or have a week blow up? The calendar regenerates with new tasks. Students never have to redo their plan.

It targets their weak areas

Tasks are not generic. The questions assigned each day are pulled from the subjects where that student is actually struggling.

A plan for each student

No two schedules are the same. The plan is built around each student's diagnostic, exam date and availability.

Everything in one place

Q-Bank sets, video lectures and flashcards all live on the plan, so students just follow it day to day.

What your students get

Four products, one connected system

Students can use any product on its own, but they work best together.

Adaptive Q-Bank

Questions harder than the real exam

1,800+ scenario-based questions written to sit at or above NPTE difficulty, so students walk into test day overprepared rather than surprised.

  • Adaptive Practice is the core of it. The advanced algorithm analyzes which subjects, categories, and difficulty levels a student keeps missing, then serves the next set from exactly those gaps. The more they practice, the more targeted it gets and the more their scores improve.
  • Custom exam builder by subject, category, or difficulty
  • Three mock exams that simulate the real test environment
  • Detailed rationales with tables, mnemonics, memory tricks, and infographics that address the why, not just the what

For programs

How DPT and PTA programs use it

Capstone course

Build your curriculum around what your students actually need

Use your cohort's data to shape your curriculum and plan your lectures, this year and in future years. Instead of a generalized curriculum that tries to cover everything, you spend more time on the subjects your students are weakest in.

Remediation

Target preparation around each student's weak areas

A simple loop your class can run on the platform:

  1. Students set up their own adaptive study calendar
  2. They take a diagnostic quiz so you know their strong and weak areas
  3. They watch the lecture videos on their weak subjects
  4. They come to class to go deeper on those topics
  5. They practice questions on those subjects and watch their scores improve

Real-time data in your hands

Don't wait until the NPTE to know if your students are ready. We'll walk you through the faculty portal, answer your questions, and show you what it looks like with a cohort like yours.

Pick the time that suits your department. Demos take 20 minutes.
