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. I'm excited about this one because it could easily show up like this, asking this type of

question on your exam. And so you and I, we're going to solve through this thing together so you're

ready to freaking go. And if you're looking for more questions like this, if you're looking for a

practice exam to challenge you like the NPTE will, join me over at the PT hustle website.

Go to the PT hustle.com. We have two full-length simulated practice exams that aren't just

practice exams. I've written those questions

to truly train you for the NPTE. So if you want a real-life simulated exam close to the
