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.

and it sparked some really great conversation. So I'm like, you know what? Let me put this on a podcast

for my peoples, all right? So we can take a look at some different types of tests that could show up on the

MPTE. All right. Let's go ahead and knock this one out. It says Jeremy is performing a neurological evaluation. Pretty straightforward first sentence, wouldn't you say? All right, pretty straightforward. Let's go to the next one. It says, the therapist notes repeated falls in quiet standing with a suspected forward,

anticipatory balance impairment. Oh my gosh. All right. So that was a meaty

sentence there. Let's back it up and stay in control. It says the therapist notes repeated

falls in quiet standing. So I'm just picturing a patient, just standing there. They're not
