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.

question here when it comes down to musculoskeletal because there's a few little things that we're

going to go over in this episode that throw people off when they actually get into the MPTE.

All right, we're going to go through all of that today to make sure that you're locked in.

For those of you who are PT students or new grads, make sure that if you are struggling with

the NPTE right now, maybe you're on clinicals, maybe you're in a situation where like, dang,

you know, I'm not doing as much as I would want to do to prepare for this exam.

I want you to understand that being prepared for the MPTE is one of the
