How this list was compiled: Our own questions, spread over the six categories of the Georgia JAM content outline that the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy publishes (Georgia Law Blueprint, revised 1/20/2016; https://www.fsbpt.org/Portals/0/documents/OurServices/GeorgiaLawBlueprint20160120.pdf). The Rules of the Georgia State Board of Physical Therapy, Chapter 490, were read on 2026-10-13 on the Georgia Secretary of State's rules site, https://rules.sos.ga.gov/gac/490. The Georgia Physical Therapy Act (O.C.G.A. Title 43, Chapter 33) and O.C.G.A. 43-1-27 were read the same day in the public copy at FindLaw, which is marked current as of March 28, 2024 and which each statute question links to, so check the official code before you rely on an answer. The exam's numbers are from the Federation's Georgia JAM page, https://www.fsbpt.org/Our-Services/Jurisprudence-Assessment-Module-JAM-Services/Georgia. 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.

How it works

Unofficial practice for the Georgia jurisprudence exam, the GA JAM, not affiliated with the Georgia State Board of Physical Therapy or the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy. Every question is our own.

What the questions follow

Georgia physical therapy jurisprudence exam study guide

Each explanation states the rule and names its Code section or Board rule. Statute links open a public copy dated March 28, 2024; rule links open the Secretary of State's own site.

What has no question

The Board's policy statements and the professional association's code of ethics are on the outline but not in this bank.

  • Self-referral has its own numbers: 21 days or eight visits, and five years of clinical practice where there is no doctorate.
  • Renewal falls on December 31 of odd years, with 30 hours of continuing competence, four of them in Georgia ethics and jurisprudence.

Questions and answers

How many questions are on the Georgia jurisprudence exam for physical therapy?

The Federation's GA JAM page lists 50 questions and 90 minutes, online and on demand. A taker must answer 80 percent correctly and finish within 96 hours of purchase.

How many times can you take the GA JAM?

Four. The Federation's page says the Board will not accept scores from further attempts without proof of extensive further study of Georgia's laws and rules.

Do physical therapist assistants take the Georgia jurisprudence exam?

Yes. Rule 490-2-.02 asks physical therapist and physical therapist assistant applicants alike for passing scores on the examination on Georgia's laws and the Board's rules.

Does the GA JAM count toward license renewal?

Rule 490-4-.02 accepts passage of the Georgia Ethics and Jurisprudence Examination for the four ethics and jurisprudence hours of a biennium, unless the same result was already used for licensure or a Board order.

Is this the real Georgia jurisprudence exam?

No. These are practice questions of our own, written from Georgia's Code and the Board's rules. Neither the Board nor the Federation wrote or reviewed them, and nothing here comes from the module.
