The BEST!

The podcast is a wonderful tool to use as you begin to study for the NPTE. I love how brief each episode is, but it still touches on important topics that you will see on the exam. I also took the PT premium course they offer and passed the exam on my FIRST try! The course provided everything I needed to study including a study guide, live lectures, recorded lectures, and a flexible study schedule. I highly recommend it!

Great preparation

Thank you Kyle for doing this podcast. I recently passed the exam in April with a 700. I have listened to your entire back catalog of questions and felt they reflected the difficulty of the NPTE well. Many concepts on the NPTE I was first introduced to through your podcast. Definitely should a part of anyone’s story arsenal.

Great NPTE Podcast

This is a good supplement to studying for the NPTE while utilizing other resources. This is perfect during a workout, drive, etc. to test your knowledge on certain topics. Highly recommend! Kyle’s breakdown of each question and answer is great!
