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,

low-amplitude thrust. thrust b is cervical mechanical traction c is media nerve gliding and d is stretching of the rectus capitis anterior and longest

colli all right before we jump into this question, I have to tell you about this

past Monday in my Facebook group. It's a private Facebook group, and I held an epic freaking training

for 6,000 PT students and PT grads. Now, the title of this training was the three pillars to

crushing the NPTE with absolute confidence.

I even reveal my three strategies that helped me to get a perfect freaking score on the NPTE.

Y'all, we've actually had 15 students get perfect 800s on the NPTE just since July, this past July, y'all, just like five,
