US-Educated PT/PTA Applicant — Endorsement

Examination Information

California Jurisprudence Assessment Module (CAL–JAM)

The CAL–JAM tests applicants' knowledge of the laws and regulations related to the practice of physical therapy in California. It is the same for both physical therapist and physical therapist assistant applicants. The CAL–JAM consists of 50 questions, and you have one hour to complete it. The CAL–JAM is an online, off–site examination and can be taken on your personal desktop or laptop computer. You do not need to be in California to sit for the CAL–JAM. Upon receipt of the Authorization to Test (ATT) letter, the applicant has 96 hours to take the CAL–JAM.

Cost: $50 to the Federation. No examination fees are paid to PTBC.

The CAL–JAM study materials are compiled by PTBC in the California Laws and Regulations Related to the Practice of Physical Therapy publication. In addition, a CAL–Law content outline is available on the Federation's website.

If you are unsuccessful at a CAL–JAM exam attempt, you may register with the Federation again 15 days after the last exam date. You do not need to submit a new application to PTBC if your application is still active and has not reached its expiration date.
