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.

treatment plant. So we have A, high intensity resistance training, B, aerobic exercise for endurance training, C, gentle stretching,

and range of motion exercises, and D is balance and proprioception training.

All right, y'all, let's go out to the top of this question.

This is going to be one of your more traditional type of questions that you'll

see on the MPTE. As you saw last week, hopefully you were in attendance on last week's episode.

We went through a clinical scenario that had a couple questions that was attached to it, right?

So today, we're just going to be going over one of the one-off questions that you will

also see on the MPTE, where it's just a straight up question and we need to work through it,
