How this list was compiled: Our own questions, spread over the five categories of the KS JAM Content Outline 2020 that the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy publishes (https://www.fsbpt.org/Portals/0/documents/services/Kansas_JAM_Content_Outline.pdf). The physical therapy practice act (K.S.A. 65-2901 to 65-2924) was read on 2026-10-13 on the Kansas Revisor of Statutes' site, ksrevisor.gov. The regulations of the State Board of Healing Arts (K.A.R. 100-29-1 to 100-29-21) were read the same day on the Secretary of State's regulations site, rules.ks.gov, where each is marked as authenticated. The exam's numbers are from FSBPT's Kansas JAM page. Licence: Own work. Every question, wrong choice and explanation was written for this site from the text of the statute or regulation it cites, which is public law of the State of Kansas. Nothing is taken from the KS JAM, a study guide or another practice test.

Five areas from the published outline

The KS JAM Content Outline of 2020 gives definitions 3 of 40 items, the Board 2, licensure 11, patient care management 15 and discipline 9. The law behind it is K.S.A. 65-2901 to 65-2924 and K.A.R. 100-29, both read on the State's own sites.

What is particular to Kansas

A Kansas therapist may treat without a referral, but needs one if the patient is not progressing after 10 visits or 15 business days. Dry needling has four regulations of its own. Assistants are certified by the State Board of Healing Arts, which an advisory council assists.

  • Continuing education is the largest licensure topic on the outline, 4 to 5 items; it all sits in K.A.R. 100-29-9.
  • Supervision of assistants and support personnel is one regulation, K.A.R. 100-29-16; read subsections (b), (e) and (g).

Questions and answers

Is there a Kansas physical therapy jurisprudence exam?

Yes. K.A.R. 100-29-9 calls it the physical therapy jurisprudence assessment module, the Kansas jurisprudence examination developed by the board and the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy. The Federation gives it online as the KS JAM.

Who has to take the Kansas jurisprudence exam?

Under K.A.R. 100-29-9, each licensed physical therapist completes it during each continuing education cycle, which ends with renewal in an odd-numbered year. The Federation's page adds compact privilege applicants and some reinstatements of a canceled license.

How many questions are on the KS JAM?

The Federation's Kansas page lists 40 questions in 90 minutes. Takers must answer 80 percent correctly, and attempts are unlimited, though each one is registered and paid for again.

Is this the real Kansas jurisprudence exam?

No. It is unofficial practice written from Kansas law. The Kansas State Board of Healing Arts and the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy did not write or review this page, and none of the module's questions appear here.
