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.

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.

cognitive function. C, structured gate training in a familiar environment. And D is

community ambulation to enhance adaptability.

MPTE kind of curbel. We're used to seeing a lot of the MSK topics, cardio topics,

neurotopics about multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barre Parkinson's, right? But sometimes they can throw

things like Alzheimer's disease or dementia in there. And we need to know, okay, what are the best

strategies or interventions to use for that particular patient? Now, keep in mind, it's not all about

the condition that's important. We as physical therapists need to know the
