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.

Which of the following is a consequence of a false negative test. So we have, A,

receiving treatment when it is indicated. B, not receiving treatment when it is indicated.

C, unnecessary treatment or further diagnostic testing. And D is positive test result, but the characteristic was absent.

All right, y'all. Let's go up to the top of this question. Y'all with me? Listen, if you are not in my private

free Facebook group, join it right now. It's for PTs and PTA students that are looking to reduce their study

time by half and raise their MPTE score by 100 points. If that is something that you want to do,

trust me, the first step that you need to take is joining my free private Facebook group.

I'm in there every single week giving tips and tricks on how to do just that.

All right, let's go up and knock down this first sentence of the question. It says, Mariah finds in the literature that the Homan sign to screen for DVT is no longer advocated because the test lacks both sensitivity, specificity.
