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.

top of this question i'm excited baby about this one and the reason why is i have so many students

that come to me and one of their major issues is intervention questions just like this

and they get stuck between the final two,

and they don't know which intervention is best. And so I'm super excited because this is one of the

types of areas I focus on when I'm coaching my students. And I wanted to make this type of

question so you and I can go through it together. Does that sound good?

All right. Let's go ahead and knock this one down. It says Ricky is a retire bus driver,
