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.

flag c documented as a blue flag and d is documented as a orange flag all right let's go up to the top

of this question obviously we're talking a little bit about the flag system, right? Let's go ahead and knock it down. It says Stanley was recently referred to

physical therapy for a muscle strain after a lifting accident at the office. Completely

straightforward here. Muscle strain. Don't really know where that is, right?

You may say like, well, I'm, I'm assuming, ooh, bad move. All right? Let's not assume anything. It does say

lifting incident. Patient has a muscle strain. That's all we're given right now. Cool.

All right. Let's move down to our next sentence.
