It is our recommendation to take the PTCE. While the overwhelming opinion is that the ExCPT is easier, your state and/or future employer may not recognize it, as it hasn’t been around as long as the PTCE. Both are accredited exams; however the PTCE is widely accepted while the ExCPT is not. A person who is capable of passing the PTCE is capable of passing the ExCPT, and it is because of this that our site will prepare you for both.
