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.

low false negatives. All right, let's go out to the top of this question. This is dealing with the whole

sensitivity and specificity. I've done an episode on this before. It does pop up in your whole

research realm of the NPTE. Now, this was a trippy area for me in PT school and it took me

a while to understand it. However, there are some rules that once you got

these principals down, oh boy, you can get these questions right. And I want to give that to you today.

Sounds good. Let's do this together, my people. So we jump into it and we see Carmen is performing a special

test on her patient. Okay, pretty straightforward.

It says the test has a sensitivity of 95% and a specificity of 30%. Let's stop there and get some
