This episode of the NPTE Clinical Files is brought to you by the NPTE test strategy playbook.

Hey, PTs, is your repeat score less than 75%? And if it is, when you review your practice exams,

do you find several questions that you had the knowledge to, but you still got the question wrong?

Listen, you're not alone and you might have a test taking strategy
