Clinical Thinking Approach
The NPTE is written by PTs and base the questions off of patients they have seen. This makes the exam clinically based and not an academic exam. The academic study habits and preparation won’t be the best methods to prepare for this clinical scenario exam. TEP provides a clinical thinking approach and treats each question as a patient. TEP also provides tips on being able to view studying clinically with reinforcement assignments.
Holistic Approach
The NPTE is more than just an exam and TEP acknowledges this by treating you as a whole person when preparing for the board exam.
