Thank you from the bottom of my heart
While I’m beyond ecstatic that I passed this time around, I have to admit there’s a little part of me that will miss the calming influence that is Dr. Singh. He’s been such a powerful teacher and influence in my life and yet we have never met. I mentioned this to a friend who also has been under Dr. Singh’s tutelage as well in the Final Frontier study bundle, and she admitted she felt the same way. My hope is that someday I will have the opportunity to thank him in person for the encouragement and reassurance he so patiently bestowed. In the meantime, thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Singh!

I couldn't have done it without you guys
I took the NPTE 5 times and passed on my 5th with final frontier. I graduated August 2018 from a US University during mid-depression stemming from some family issues. I took my first exam October 2018 and scored a 460. I had no idea how I was going to improve my score in order to pass because it was obvious I was so far behind my colleagues. My second attempt I studied on my own and scored a 550 but I felt there was only so much I could do on my own. I sought help from the final frontier team for my 3rd 4th and 5th attempt. I still didn’t score too well the first time I used final frontier because I wasn’t completely out of my family situation, I didn’t completely utilize the system, but I did better. The 4th time I buckled down and actually used the program to its full potential and scored a 584 with some added MSK background basics studying. Now I could see the light at the end of the tunnel. However my situation had changed, I was going to have my first son, Money was running low from living on my own for a year and a half with only part time jobs in between, test fees, bills piling up- I was under a lot or pressure to finally pass this January. I emailed dr Singh and told him my situation and sent him my score report. He said “don’t worry you will pass this next time stay confident and don’t give up, sign up for the LSP with Chase for some extra practice and focus on the 3 main areas, well extend your normal live class until you pass” it worked- I passed this time. Dr Singh and the team are excellent with explaining concepts and questions that are difficult to understand. They respond quickly and use laments terms to make it easier to apply during a test situation. They provide a ton of extra materials/charts to make studying easier and even have a group chat with daily questions to keep you on your toes. Like anything in life: You will have to work, however Final Frontier makes it so that if you are willing to put forth that effort the materials are there for you to learn what’s necessary in order to finally pass. Thank you so much Final Frontier team I couldn’t have done it without you guys!

I am so grateful to the NPTE final frontier team for all their help and motivational words. After failing my test the first time I felt disappointed and discouraged. However, after following their lessons and all their advice I passed my NPTE. Thank you so much!

I did it!
Hello everyone! I want to share my journey of passing the NPTE!
I’m an adult student who returned to school seeking a career as a PT after practicing as a massage therapist for many years. I had some difficulty during my graduate program in testing mainly due to anxiety during an exam and learning how to study for different courses. This did not change when starting to study for the NPTE.
My college in NY required a Scorebuilders weekend course and purchase of the Scorebuilders review book. This is just my opinion - but this book was not helpful for me and many other classmates of mine. Scorebuilders is for mainly more basic level questions and memorization strategies. The Scorebuilders course was a good introduction to what the exam would be like, however, it just scratches the surface of the difficulty of this exam. Initially, I used the Scorebuilders exams from 2019 and the PEATS.
I failed my first attempt with a score of 564 using only the Scorebuilders book and notes from my college courses. I will also mention I failed my school’s mock board exams.
After failing in July of 2019, I found Final Frontier from another classmate and utilized the course’s lecture material a great deal. I took 2 Therapy Ed exams, 1 Final Frontier exam, and 2 Scorebuilders exams. I passed one Therapy Ed exam just prior to the NPTE in October. I was still worried but at this point I did a lot of work, learned a lot with the FF team and Dr. Singh’s teachings helped me overcome the test anxiety I had felt deeply prior to FF and during my previous attempt. However, I failed again in October 2019 with a 589! I don’t think I ever cried so hard - I was truly devastated.
At this point, I had a lot of stress with being able to pay bills and worked several jobs to make ends meet! I also was worried about my family as we had some unexpected health problems occur! This last attempt I was working 3 jobs and studying constantly as I was determined to make this attempt my last and final one! I decided to try a LSP (licensed study partner) with Steven who gave me access to a lot of his study material that he used to pass the NPTE but also resources that I was not aware of such as the NPTE app for additional practice! I also struggled with terminology during the exam and would get easily distracted by a diagnosis or a term that I was unfamiliar with. I got through this by using quizlets on medical terminology, reading Therapy Ed, and going through the resources Steven provided.
This last attempt (my third) I utilized the entire Therapy Ed book - the third therapy Ed exam from 2019, the final frontier reading list, resources from Steven, and the New final frontier Exam prior to my board exam. I did not pass either practice exam but I will tell you this::: taking multiple exams for me did not help me. It only made me more anxious for the real thing. The exposure to the types of questions that could be asked, the rationales, and the seeing the difficulty of the questions were what helped the most - which I will say that Therapy Ed and Final Frontier do the best job of preparing you for the same difficulty as the actual NPTE.
I passed Jan 2020 - by how much yet I do not know but really it doesn’t matter. My confidence was there this time - the exam was and always will be challenging - but I took my time and DID NOT CHANGE my answers. The key for me was learning to trust myself, not doubting or overthinking.
On the top of my sheet given in the exam I wrote: BE GOLD, DONT CHANGE YOUR ANSWERS...when I started to feel anxious about a question - I closed my eyes for a few seconds - did some deep breathing and moved on. I flagged questions I didn’t know right away and came back to them and went with my gut. This time was different - and for those of you on your multiple attempts that are struggling to pass - maybe this will help you.
You graduated your program - you made it this far. The NPTE is the last step and truly it was difficult for me for several reasons. But in the end - all I needed was the confidence and the right resources and the support to make that happen. I would recommend Final Frontier to absolutely everyone. The team they have is like nothing else and they show you not just what the exam is like but they also show you HOW to take this exam. That is very valuable in and of itself.
My sincerest thank you goes out to Dr. Singh, Steven Castro, and the entire Final Frontier team for being there for me during this process.
I did it !!!! I passed!!!

Trust the NPTEFF process
Wow!! I didn’t imagine that one day I would be the one to write a testimonial about my victorious journey of NPTE.
I remember during my childhood my mom teaching me about the importance of Guru... the one who leads you into the path of knowledge and enlightenment. I truly believed that with the right mentor (Guru) you can achieve greater heights.
April 2019, I decided that finally I had in me to face NPTE after 10 years of being a wife, stay at home mom, and dabbling into a different profession. And then I made that one phone call that changed my life... to Dr. Bhupinder Singh. After the phone call ... I knew I found my Guru.... and Final Frontier was going to lead me to other side of this wonderful profession that I am passionate about.
From that first phone call and joining as a FLC student.... I worked harder and harder. I set an aim of 9 months to work hard. I used 2 cohorts to jump back into action. Getting my basics back, working hard on my weakness, and finding my strengths. Each cohort, I stuck to the time table, I finished all assignments and also finished power point for all special tests. I cannot stress the importance of trusting NPTE Final Frontier’s process, sticking to the course, and attending all classes live as much as possible. Then, the last cohort Jan 2020, I used it to push myself harder. I stuck with NPTE Final Frontier’s time table and all the tips and tricks that Sir and his team gave. I started preparing hard mentally and everyday had the same routine that I followed. I did good in all practice exams, but I was still scared... even after the exam I was scared, but Dr. Singh showed full faith in me and here I am today enjoying the success. I also want to say thanks to his awesome team David Friedberg, Dani, AKS, Chase Taylor, Reka, and Vrunda. Each one of them in their own way helped us all to prepare the right way.
This journey tested me in every way possible ... but I never QUIT.... I kept going with the help of NPTE Final Frontier and held on to my faith. Thanks to god who blessed me with this wonderful phase of my life .... and this journey would not have been possible without my husband, who stuck by me and had 1000% faith in me; my 7 year old daughter, who showed immense maturity and was a calming factor in my life; my dad who was here to help me before the exams and always believed in me; my sister ( who thinks I can move mountains ????) and brother in law, both of them relentlessly rooted for me; my in-laws who came and supported me and had faith that I can do it; Leena, my friend, who started this journey with me supporting me all the way through; and my friends and family ... I am really blessed to have a wonderful group of friends and family behind me. Thanks to everyone who were there for me and with me.
Finally, this is to all women and men who either because of family commitments or being stay at home parents paused their careers for a bit.... if I can do it you can too!!! With Dr. Singh’s guidance... you can be unstoppable. Trust NPTE Final Frontier’s process and keep working hard!!
