I'm Kyle Rice, awful test taker turned physical therapists and standardized test coach for over 5,000 physical therapists worldwide.

It wasn't that long ago that I struggle with anxiety, lack of confidence, and the fear of failing the NPTE.

Fast forward through the challenges, the 13 standardized test failures, and many lessons learn. And you'll see the life

I have today, a life filled with love, financial freedom, and a dream job that allows me to

change lives every single day. I created the NPTE Clinical Files podcast to give you simple,

actionable strategies, along with a step-by-step walkthrough of NPTE-based questions.

All of this so that you can dominate your exam like I did and achieve your dream.

So if you're a driven PT student who's looking to pass the NPTE and start creating a life

you love, you're in the right place. Enjoy the show.

B, mini squats to 45 degrees. C, resisted knee flexion with a three pound ankle weight and prone.

And D is sideline straight leg raises. All right, let's go to the top of this question. This is a good one.

Have you seen something like this before? This surgical protocol where they try to trip you up

because they add two conditions in there, like two different types of surgeries? Well, that's the

type of question we're looking at. I can't wait to knock this down with you. Let's go

ahead and hit it. It says PD is four weeks. Keep that in mind status post ACL reconstruction

with a semi-tendinosis autographed and partial menisectomy. All right, let's stop for a moment because

they gave us so much information

in that first one. So I'm sure you've heard of the ACL reconstruction. That's pretty common and a

major hit for the MPTE. Here it says semi-tendinosis autographed. So a lot of times they are going to take it from the pettler tendon, but they can take that
