ALC - PTFE reviews

Congratulations to those of you who finished the April 2013 NPTE!  I sincerely hope it went well.  I also hope that some of the things that I posted have been of some value to you.

I received a comment the other day, wanting to know how to direct some of the last minute, last day, “holy-guacamole-the-test-is-tomorrow” preparations.  As I have mentioned in previous posts, it really is crucial to know everything for the exam.  The FSBPT puts out a content outline showing some of the more important areas to study, and for 2013, the emphasis has been dramatically shifted to the Musculoskeletal System and the Neuromuscular System.
