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.

extremity. All right. Let's go up to the top of this question. We have Roger is status posed

cerebrovascular accident or CVA and is being evaluated by physical therapy. Pretty straightforward first sentence here.

All right. So the patient has a stroke. Let's continue down. It says the patient seems to disregard

safety and repeatedly falls onto their weak side. I'm slowing up on that sentence. I think it's very

important as they're bringing

out the safety piece, right? They're saying the patient disregards safety and it says repeatedly

falls onto the weak side. And I'm like, hmm, that's really interesting that they keep falling over
