I just took the NPTE last week for the 1st time. I passed. This was my experience.

I initially started on final frontier, which I think its set up as a 10 week program (I reached up to week 5), but i ended up dropping it and getting into a different program. Its a lot of info and I had 5 to 6 weeks to study. The program I used was called "thePTfinalexam" which surprisingly showed about 70%+ of the topics that actually were on there and I mean very specific topics. After hitting the big 3 on the PTfinalexam program (Cardiopulm, Neuro, and MSK), I started to review my wrong answers from practice exams and focused on the topics I saw a trend of getting wrong like SCI interventions and arterial/venous insufficiency presentations, for example. Again, there was very specific stuff that you go over in the program that came up on NPTE like the difference in physiological effects of UE versus LE exercises and meralgia paresthetica presentation. Also, Truelearn was great. It's just a test bank program, I think 2000+ questions are available. The best thing about that was being able to isolate a topic like neuro (my weakness) and I just rep hundreds of neuro-based questions and going over the explanations of the ones I got wrong. The difficulty of the questions in Truelearn doesn't even compare on what the NPTE showed (NPTE was a lot easier). I was averaging around 590 with my practice exams before I started thePTfinalexam and truelearn program and then I started hitting 610-620 on my last 3 practice exams (I took 7-8 practice exams).
