A Few Final Study Tips for the January 29 NPTE
Hard to believe, but we’re officially 1 week away from the January NPTE. I have spoken with a number of students who are preparing for the exam, and it is extremely common to have great feelings of trepidation and anxiety. The NPTE is a test of vast importance to your career and represents an examination of all the knowledge you learned in physical therapy school. For many students, this will not be their first attempt at the exam—these students in particular express self-doubt and anxiety about facing the test again. In an earlier post, I wrote extensively about the importance of finding some dream or goal that inspires you to persevere, even through the hard times. Anything in life that is really worth doing requires great sacrifice. No doubt, every student of physical therapy has spent countless hours poring over their books and dedicated entire weekends to memorizing the brachial plexus. You just have to make it through this last exam.
