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.

on the Asia impairment scale? A, Asia A, complete, B, Asia B, sensory incomplete, C, Asia C, motor incomplete,

and D is Asia D motor incomplete. All right, let's go to the top of this question. You know,

this question is all about understanding the Asia scale for the MPTE.

And while this type of scale may seem pretty straightforward,

most students get these types of questions wrong because of the nuanced information about each level of the scale.

This is what the MPTE hits on.

But we freaking got this. Let's get it.

So Teddy sustained a spinal cord injury at C7 level after a motor vehicle accident.

All right, let's stop there for a minute, keeping in mind that specific level. We actually
