Here’s a success story of how Andy overcame the NPTE after joining TEP’s program in November 2014.
“TEP has provided the necessary tools to overcome the NPTE. Before taking TEP, I suffered from nervousness/anxiety as well as how to analyze the question and what it is asking for in the exam. TEP’s exam process and their clinical thinking analysis really helped me pass my exam. I scored an overall 54 points higher than my previous exam and in one section I scored close to 200 more points than my original. So trust the TEP process and give it some time.
It is great learning environment as everyone is supportive and the moderators are super helpful. Be active in the forums as “you get what you give” as they say. TEP understands that it is not knowing every single material from physical therapy school you learned before but it is knowing how to beat this exam and what the questions are really asking. Most of the knowledge you have is in your brain already but it is just understanding the NPTE exam and how to take it. So if you have trouble analyzing and understanding what the question is asking, I highly recommend TEP for you.
My only advice is to trust your abilities, stay strong, think positive and KNOW that you can BEAT this exam. Easier said than done. But YOU have the power to CHANGE the outcome and I know if you work hard, STUDY SMART (not hard), you can pass this exam.
I also just want to say that this NPTE exam does not define who you are and how you are as a therapist. You are the smart one that chose this profession and went to graduate school. You are already accomplished! So please don’t let this test define you and don’t let it overcome who you are!”
