How this list was compiled: Our own questions, spread over the six categories of the Alabama JAM content outline that the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy publishes (updated 5/22/2024; https://www.fsbpt.org/Portals/0/documents/OurServices/Alabama_JAM_Blueprint.pdf). The Physical Therapy Practice Act, Code of Alabama 34-24-190 to 34-24-217, was read on 2026-10-13 in the copy the Alabama Board of Physical Therapy publishes, which is current through the 2024 Regular Session: https://pt.alabama.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/PracticeAct.pdf. The Alabama Administrative Code, chapters 700-X-1 to 700-X-4, was read the same day in the Legislative Services Agency's official edition, https://admincode.legislature.state.al.us/administrative-code/700. The exam's numbers are from the Federation's Alabama JAM page, https://www.fsbpt.org/Our-Services/Jurisprudence-Assessment-Module-JAM-Services/Alabama. Licence: Own work. Every question, wrong choice and explanation was written for this site from the text of the statute or rule it cites, which is public law. Nothing is taken from the Jurisprudence Assessment Module, an earlier state law examination, a study guide or another practice test.

Questions and answers

How many questions are on the Alabama physical therapy jurisprudence exam?

Forty, in 90 minutes, on the Federation's AL JAM page. Passing takes 80 percent. A taker may try again without limit, registering and paying for every attempt.

Who has to take the Alabama jurisprudence exam?

All applicants for a new license or a compact privilege in Alabama, says the Federation's page. Section 34-24-212 has the Board give a jurisprudence examination to physical therapist and physical therapist assistant applicants.

Does the AL JAM count as continuing education?

The Federation's page says existing licensees may complete it to meet the two hours of Alabama jurisprudence education due at the first renewal and in each renewal year that ends in 0 or 5.

Are these the real Alabama jurisprudence exam questions?

No. They are unofficial, written for this page from the Practice Act and the Administrative Code. The Alabama Board of Physical Therapy and the Federation took no part, and no item of the real module appears.
