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.

For this week's clinical file,

we have Jackson, and Jackson is a 30-year-old patient who is being prescribed a K-3 prosthetic.

Which of the following describes the highest functionality level? So we have a high-level activity demonstrated such as active adult in athletes. B, limited community ambulator. C, household ambulator. And D is community ambulator.

So let's go up to the top of this question. The reason why I created this one, or the reason why we have this question this week,

is because the NPTE can throw some curveballs.

A lot of times I know when I was studying for the MPTE, I was focused on modified Ashworth scale

or the pitting edema scale or the DTR reflex scale, right?

K-levels is just something I didn't really focus a lot of my attention on.

And when you get thrown this type of question, I'm not saying this was on my MBTE, but I'm just saying,

if you get thrown this type of question, it's kind of like, dang, I did study that.

And so I wanted to put this up here because I think it's a really

great awareness moment for us to kind of look at this, get a little review so you're ready to go
