Latest results: June 2026 PT
The June 2026 PT results came out on June 8, 2026, three working days after the last exam day. That is a day slower than December. The exam was given in NCR, Baguio, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Legazpi, Lucena and Rosales. Out of 728 takers, 526 passed. That is a 72.25% passing rate.
Board of Physical Therapy members: Hon. Eduardo R. Peregrino, Jr., Chairman; Hon. Raul G. Agustin and Hon. Bernadette M. Reyes, Members. Online registration for the PRC ID and certificate of registration starts July 13, 2026.
The next PT is scheduled for December 5 to 6, 2026, based on PRC's 2026 schedule of examinations. Applications open September 4, 2026 and close November 4, 2026. PRC targets releasing the results by December 9, 2026.
PRC releases results in two waves. Wave 1 is a PDF list on prc.gov.ph showing all passers, the top 10 placers, and school performance. Wave 2 is the LERIS update at online.prc.gov.ph, where individual subject ratings appear. On result day, skip LERIS entirely. Thousands of examinees flood it at once and the server crashes within minutes.
How is the PTLE scored?
To pass the PTLE, you need two conditions met at the same time: a weighted general average (GWA) of at least 75%, and no single subject below 60%. The PTLE has no conditional status. Unlike the CPALE, which allows conditional examinees to retake only their failed subjects, the PTLE is outright pass or fail. Similarly, the ALE follows the same all-or-nothing rule. Fail either condition and you retake all five subjects next cycle.
| Subject | Weight |
|---|---|
| Physical Therapy Clinical Sciences | 30% |
| Basic Sciences | 25% |
| Physical Therapy Techniques | 20% |
| Electrotherapy and Therapeutic Exercises | 15% |
| Ethics, Law, and Research | 10% |
Clinical Sciences and Basic Sciences together account for 55% of your score. Strong performance in those two areas can pull a borderline GWA over 75%. However, the 60% floor applies to all five subjects, including the lighter Electrotherapy (15%) and Ethics (10%) areas that many first-timers underweight.
Case 1: Outright pass
| Subject | Weight | Score | Contribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| PT Clinical Sciences | 30% | 82% | 24.60 |
| Basic Sciences | 25% | 78% | 19.50 |
| PT Techniques | 20% | 76% | 15.20 |
| Electrotherapy | 15% | 74% | 11.10 |
| Ethics, Law, Research | 10% | 80% | 8.00 |
| GWA | 78.40% (PASS) |
Case 2: Fail (GWA miss)
| Subject | Weight | Score | Contribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| PT Clinical Sciences | 30% | 68% | 20.40 |
| Basic Sciences | 25% | 72% | 18.00 |
| PT Techniques | 20% | 70% | 14.00 |
| Electrotherapy | 15% | 69% | 10.35 |
| Ethics, Law, Research | 10% | 73% | 7.30 |
| GWA | 70.05% (FAIL) |
No subject dropped below 60%, but a weak Clinical Sciences score pulled the GWA to 70.05%. This is the most common failure pattern: decent across the board, but not strong enough in the two heaviest subjects.
Case 3: Fail (60% floor knockout)
| Subject | Weight | Score | Contribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| PT Clinical Sciences | 30% | 81% | 24.30 |
| Basic Sciences | 25% | 58% | 14.50 |
| PT Techniques | 20% | 79% | 15.80 |
| Electrotherapy | 15% | 76% | 11.40 |
| Ethics, Law, Research | 10% | 77% | 7.70 |
| GWA | 73.70% (FAIL: 60% floor) |
A Basic Sciences score of 58% triggers the floor rule automatically. A strong Clinical Sciences result and a near-passing GWA cannot override it. As a result, you retake the full exam next cycle with no carry-over.
June vs December: does the batch matter?
The June PTLE cycle is consistently smaller than December. In 2025, only 630 examinees sat the June exam versus 1,553 in December. A smaller batch does not mean a softer exam. PRC does not adjust difficulty based on batch size.
| Cycle | Examinees | Passers | Pass rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| June 2026 | 728 | 526 | 72.25% |
| December 2025 | 1,553 | 1,198 | 77.14% (highest on record) |
| June 2025 | 630 | 416 | 66.03% |
| December 2024 | 1,700 | 1,206 | 70.94% |
| June 2024 | 811 | 516 | 63.63% |
December cycles have consistently outperformed June ones. However, the June 2026 result at 72.25% broke the pattern. It came in above every previous June cycle and above December 2024 (70.94%). It is now the second-highest rate in this window, behind only December 2025. December batches typically include more first-time takers, while June batches carry a higher proportion of retakers. The June 2026 cohort bucked that trend.
How the latest batch compares
The passing rate was down 4.89 points from December 2025. The average across these four batches is 71.59%, so this batch is above average. A year earlier, June 2025 posted 66.03%. 825 fewer examinees took this batch than December.
What my cousin’s PTLE failure taught me
My first cousin failed the June 2024 PTLE and passed on the December 2024 retake. He now practices at a private rehab clinic in Quezon City. I also spent months sitting through my dad’s PT sessions after a minor stroke in 2024, which gave me a firsthand look at what the license actually means inside a clinic. Between those two experiences, a clear pattern of first-timer mistakes showed up.
Treating it like a memorization test
My cousin drilled Anatomy, Kinesiology, and Pathology like college finals. The exam, however, does not ask what muscle originates where. It asks you to take a stroke patient with hemiplegia, state your assessment, and explain your treatment plan. Theory knowledge is necessary, but the PTLE tests clinical reasoning, not fact recall. He scored well on flashcard drills and bombed the case-based sections.
Ignoring Electrotherapy and Ethics
Electrotherapy (15%) and Ethics (10%) together make up 25% of the GWA. My cousin barely touched them because they seemed small. On exam day, one of those areas came in below the 60% floor. That single subject failed him regardless of his performance in the other four. However, most generic PRC results pages skip this warning entirely. Many first-timers pay for it on results day.
What actually worked on the retake
He flipped the study ratio for December. About 60 to 70 percent of prep time went to Clinical Sciences and case integration. He practiced SOAP notes and treatment plans under timed pressure each week. Furthermore, he ran 12 full timed mocks across the three months before the exam and tapered completely in the final five days. He passed with a GWA above 77%.
His advice: “The first time I studied to pass the exam. The second time I studied to think like a therapist treating a real patient in 30 minutes. That shift got me across the line.”
Career paths after passing the PTLE
Passing the PTLE gives you the legal right to practice as a Registered Physical Therapist (PTRP) in the Philippines. For more on what the PRC credential means for your career, our guide on what a PRC license is covers it clearly.
| Career track | Starting salary | 3 to 5 year ceiling |
|---|---|---|
| Government or private hospital | P18,000 to P25,000/month | P28,000 to P40,000+ |
| Private rehab clinic | P20,000 to P30,000/month | P35,000 to P50,000+ |
| Home service PT | P25,000 to P40,000/month | P50,000 to P80,000+ |
| Abroad (Middle East, US, Canada) | P150,000 to P300,000+ equivalent | Fastest ramp-up |
Hospital roles offer the widest case variety (stroke, ortho, pedia), which builds the clinical foundation overseas employers look for. Also, home service is growing fast for PTs with their own transport and a steady referral network. The abroad track requires additional licensing exams (the NPTE for the US, for example), but my cousin’s batchmates in Saudi Arabia are already earning four to five times their Philippine starting rate after one year.
What to do after your PTLE results
If you passed
After your name appears on the passers list, follow this sequence. First, register online at prc.gov.ph. Online registration for the PRC ID and certificate of registration starts July 13, 2026. You must personally appear and sign in the Roster of Registered Professionals. Bring a screenshot of your system-generated Registration Form and a valid government-issued ID. Then, attend the PRC oathtaking ceremony, announced a few days to two weeks after results. Also, apply for membership in the Philippine Physical Therapy Association (PPTA), the PRC-accredited professional organization for PTRPs. Many hospitals and clinics require an active PPTA Certificate of Good Standing for hiring and abroad applications.
If you need to retake
PRC holds the PTLE twice a year, in June and December, so you have roughly five months between a result and the next exam. The exact dates and application window are in the schedule section above.
My cousin’s advice: take a complete 7 to 14 day break right after results before opening any review material. Then do an honest post-mortem on which subjects cost you points. Change your method, not just your effort level. Our piece on the teacher who tried 17 times covers the comeback mindset if you are sitting with a failed result right now.

Frequently asked questions
When were the June 2026 PT results released?
PRC released the June 2026 PT results on June 8, 2026. 526 out of 728 passed (72.25%). That was three working days after the last exam day.What is the passing score for the PTLE?
Your PT board exam results will show a weighted GWA and five subject scores. You need a GWA of at least 75% and no single subject below 60%. Therefore, a strong Clinical Sciences score cannot save you if any other subject falls below the 60% floor.
Is there a conditional status in the PTLE?
No. The PTLE is outright pass or fail. Unlike the CPALE, there is no conditional provision. Fail either condition and you retake all five subjects in the next cycle with no carry-over.
What five subjects does the PTLE cover?
The PTLE covers Physical Therapy Clinical Sciences (30%), Basic Sciences (25%), Physical Therapy Techniques (20%), Electrotherapy and Therapeutic Exercises (15%), and Ethics, Law, and Research (10%). Clinical Sciences and Basic Sciences together account for 55% of the total score.
When is the next PT board exam?
PRC holds the PTLE twice a year, in June and December, and this page shows the next exam dates as soon as PRC publishes its schedule. Examinees who did not pass have roughly five months to prepare for the next exam.
What to do next
Passers should register their PRC ID during the registration window, attend oathtaking, and join PPTA. Retakers should audit their five subject scores, flip the study ratio toward Clinical Sciences and case integration, and plan for the next exam with a smarter approach.
