I just graduated May 5 with a DPT, I took the IER TherapyEd 2 day review course. I took this course back in April, was very helpful. Just a quick question for those who took it (or those in general with study suggestions), the instructor suggested that we study 6 days a week, for 6 weeks, 2-3 hours a day. I'm taking the NPTE July 31, and haven't started reviewing yet per her suggestion. Am I making a mistake? I'm going to begin studying next week anyways. My plan is 4-5 hours per day, 6 days a week, which will give me 9 weeks total. Is this enough time, too much time?

I have the O'Sullivan review book, the blue book, and scorebuilders review book

You should be just fine. Considering you are a new grad, the material for the exam should be relatively fresh on your mind thus 2-3 hours/ day should very well be sufficient. Of course you know your weaknesses, lifestyle/ environment you are in prior to the exam; therefore you can formulate your personalized study schedule. Yes, Giles- blue book- O'sullivan review are fantastic guides to prepare for the examination!
