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.

For this week's clinical file, we have Mitchell, and Mitchell presents to physical therapy post-left CVA with an

extensor synergy pattern of the lower extremity. Upon gate assessment, which of the following

compensatory gate deviations is the most likely present. So we have A,

vaulting on the sound side, B, high stepage gate on the affected side, C, circumduction on the

sound side, and D is knee buckling on the affected side. All right, let's go up to the top of this question.

And before we jump into it, if you are a PT student or grad and you are not in my private

Facebook group yet, I don't know what you're doing.

You need to do it right now.

The reason being is tonight I'm going to be interviewing one of my coaching students who

passed the

NPTE just recently, but check this out. This student was able to go into the MPTE. They ran out

of time, didn't answer 19 questions, and was still able to pass. How freaking unbelievable is that? Incredible freaking
