Edit your post and take out the word minimum.
Your goal is not to just "make by" your goal is to pass the PT exam with flying colors at the top of your "Class". If you expect to only be able to meet the minimum then thats exactly what you'll get.
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become.

i dont mean minimum as in score, i mean what do you have to have, as in degrees, hours, training etc., to get started and then increase from there.
Unfortunately, all you need is about $300 and some minor knowledge in exercise to get certified. However, if you want to earn a QUALITY certification, such as one through ACSM, NSCA, etc, then you need a bachelors degree in an exercise related field, as well as a very good working knowledge of human anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and exercise.
