About the AHPC PT QE Exam

The AHPC Singapore Physiotherapy Qualifying Examination is the SIT-administered professional examination used for physiotherapists seeking AHPC registration when AHPC determines that a foreign-trained applicant's qualification requires QE referral. It combines a written physiotherapy knowledge paper with practical clinical scenarios, while AHPC separately assesses eligibility, employment supervision, documents, fees, and lawful registration with a valid Practising Certificate.

Assessment

The AHPC Singapore pathway starts with AHPC registration screening for foreign-trained physiotherapists. Candidates whose qualifications are not on AHPC's recognised list may be referred to the SIT Qualifying Examination. The current physiotherapy QE is a 2-day professional examination: Day 1 has a 2-hour, 125-question MCQ paper; Day 2/3 has a 1-hour practical examination with Neurology, Musculoskeletal, and Cardiopulmonary scenarios.

Time Limit

SIT lists the QE duration as 2 days. Physiotherapy Day 1 is a 2-hour paper. Day 2/3 is a 1-hour practical examination with three 20-minute scenarios and 5 minutes to read and prepare for each scenario. SIT states results are released within 4 to 6 weeks after the examination. AHPC states registration applications take approximately 2 weeks after all required documents are received.

Passing Score

SIT states that candidates must pass the written paper and achieve an overall passing score across the three practical stations. No numeric pass mark is published. Institution results are final and appeals are not entertained by the institution. AHPC's current QE page states eligible candidates have up to three attempts, with a third-attempt request route after two failed attempts and a rejected registration application.

Exam Fee

SIT lists the Qualifying Examination fee as S$2,180 including GST, with no refund after confirmation of registration. AHPC lists a S$200 application fee, S$20 Practising Certificate application fee, and S$140 Practising Certificate fee per year or part year.

AHPC PT QE Study Tips from Top Performers

1Separate AHPC eligibility and document rules from the SIT examination format; many scenario questions test the order of the pathway.
2Use the current SIT physiotherapy format: 125 MCQs in 2 hours plus three practical scenarios, not older short-answer descriptions.
3For written prep, connect anatomy and physiology to functional assessment, differential reasoning, contraindications, and intervention choice.
4For practical prep, rehearse concise problem lists, measurable goals, safety checks, patient instructions, and evidence-based justification.
5Treat registration, Practising Certificate payment, and lawful practice as separate steps after QE and AHPC approval.
