Ontario Clinical Exam
Ontario Clinical Exam
The OCE has Been Discontinued
The Ontario Clinical Exam is no longer available. Candidates can take the Canadian Physiotherapy Examination (CPTE) administered by the Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators or another approved exam.
How to Access Ontario Clinical Exam Results
Candidates will get an email from the College when their results are available. This email will briefly inform candidates of their exam results, tell them how to access a performance summary if they were unsuccessful, and share information about next steps.
Candidate scores are uploaded to the PT Portal and are listed as either Pass or Fail.
Unsuccessful candidates will receive feedback related to the exam domain areas they underperformed in. This performance summary will help candidates with remaining exam attempts to study for their next exam. The College will share information about a candidate’s unsuccessful results with other provincial physiotherapy regulators and the Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators (CAPR).
Successful candidates must register for an Independent Practice Certificate before their Provisional Practice Certificate expires to ensure they can continue to practice without interruption.
