    Do I Have to Practice in the State That I Take the NPTE in?

    This may be a silly question, but I have heard conflicting information. Basically, I'm just wondering if I go to school and take/ pass the NPTE in, for example Oregon, would that mean that I have to practice in that specific state forever? Would I be unable to practice in another state? And, if...

    What happens if your NPTE gets “snowed out”?

    After months of prep the big day is almost here and I’m ready to knock thing out, but it looks like we’re getting 8-9 inches of snow tonight. If that happens I have a feeling they’ll close the test center. I called Prometric and they said that when this happens people are simply pushed to...
