You must be registered with the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (FSBPT) to take the exam for

Virginia, before the traineeship application will be reviewed for approval.

EXAMINATION RESULTS - The minimum passing score on the examination shall be established by the

board. The FSBPT will provide the results of the examination to the Virginia Board of Physical Therapy. The

board will notify the candidate by mail of the results - DO NOT TELEPHONE THE BOARD OFFICE TO

REQUEST RESULTS, unless you have not heard from the board at least two weeks after taking the exam.

Neither scores nor pass/fail status will be released by telephone. An abundance of phone calls can delay the

processing of scores, thereby lengthening the time for notification. Candidates who pass the examination will

be granted a Virginia license and a certificate sent to the address of record. Candidates who do not pass the

examination will be notified in writing. The Board of Physical Therapy will not report your scores to another

state. At your direct request to the FSBPT and payment of their required fees, the FSBPT will report your

scores to a designated state. The FSBPT telephone number is (888) 461-6905.
