My journey with NPTE began with a dream. A dream where I saw only one goal, one priority. The goal was to pass my NPTE in one single attempt. This goal was strongly supported by Dr. Singh and his team- NPTE Final Frontiers. As I continued to work with this goal, a major hurdle faced by me was failing the retired PEAT. These words by Dr. Singh rang in my head through the final days leading to NPTE ‘there are people who fail the retired PEAT and yet pass NPTE, they’re few but they’re there’. I pushed myself, tested new limits, explored this warrior side where every awake moment was spent working towards this goal, receiving constant motivation. As part of the July batch, the motivation, positivity, and helpfulness were remarkable and I sincerely hope that each person does well, whether it’s as PTs right now, or all the future PTs to come. This is achievable when you lose sight, lack confidence or are shaken with your result, ask yourself ‘how bad do you want this?’ and remind yourself of your goal every single day.

Here’s a take-home message for those on their journey to passing the NPTE:

1. Understand the test, adapt to study in a way that meets the needs of the test.

2. Never, never, ever underestimate the test. If it were easy, it wouldn’t be esteemed. (Know that somebody out there is getting paid just to make the questions ‘look’ complicated and to scare students). Also understand that this is important because as PTs, we will face challenges every day and this prepares us for that.

3. Study like your life depends on it (because unless you make yourself believe that, you won’t take this as seriously).

4. Believe in yourself, even when the odds are against you.

5. Join NPTE Final Frontier because they make steps 1 through 4 easier for you and enable you to be 100% prepared for the test- both academically and mentally.

Me passing the NPTE Exam is not a miracle but the result of my immense hard work along with the motivation and support from a lot of people.

Firstly, I would like to thank my parents and my brother Nipul Vaswani for believing in me and being there for me no matter how far they are. This wouldn’t have been possible without you guys.

Next, I would like to thank the whole team of “NPTE Final Frontier”. You guys rock!!
Bhupinder Singh Sir thanks for giving me the proper guidance, support, motivation and helping me in restoring my confidence. It wouldn’t have been possible without the 11-week program you offer which includes: 
1. The live lectures (especially the ones on PNF, spine mobs, and gait),
2. Tons of practice questions covering all the required topics,
3. The exclusive Final Frontier Exam consisting of 250 questions (the level of which was very similar to NPTE), 
4. The amazing and very helpful Final Frontier Mobile App which made it easy to access the study material whenever and wherever I wanted,
5. The Final Frontier WhatsApp group which not only helped us to share information and gain knowledge but also helped us in solving the millions of queries that we had on the spot. The members of this group are active 24*7. Special thanks to Niraj Tankaria, Chhaya Patel, and Mona Minhaj for posting innumerable tricky questions in the group that made us use our brains and apply the concepts. Also, thanks a lot Gowre Anurekha Arunachalam for sharing the tons of pictures which not only made studies easy but also interesting and Akanksha Sharma for solving all our queries too.

Special shout out to my amazing licensed study partner, Niraj Tankaria, who helped me a lot in this journey full of hurdles. He motivated me to the core and made sure that I understand the concepts clearly and completely. He kept on revising with me each and every topic repeatedly without complaining. His random rapid-fire sessions were the best. His motivational talks were the cherry on the cake which always uplifted my mood whenever I doubted myself and felt low. The group discussions lead by him were not only comfortable but also fun to attend. The amazing useful strategies taught by him like the process of elimination, finding key words and eliminating distractors helped me to solve the questions more efficiently and choose the correct option. he is a very hard working person who is available 24*7. Even if he is at work he never fails to help us. After a busy day at work, his evenings were spent in teaching and discussing our doubts on skype with a cup of chai in his hand. (Sorry, Niraj Couldn’t resist myself from saying this..LOL! He used to sing motivational songs and send it to us to keep us positive, focused and motivated (P.S warning to all the professional singers out there Niraj se bachke rehna). He took an 11 hrs discussion session..which Oh my god was amazing!! He almost revised and covered the whole TEd including important topics from Sullivan and Kisner. This discussion session made me more confident. He has inspired us in each and every way he could. Thank you so much Niraj for all your efforts!

A Very Special thanks to my Awwsome Roomate Sonal Patel for being the elder sister I never had. She not only took care of me by making it sure that I eat and sleep well but also kept me positive and motivated.Also thanks a lot to Navaz Tata for staying by my side and for ignoring my stupid mood swings.

Once again thank you “NPTE Final Frontier” team. I would recommend this class to each and every one out there as I was able to achieve my dreams because of them and I’m sure so will you.

Lastly, for people who didn't pass this time, do not give up. The wait is always fruitful. You always learn something from your mistakes and failure. Stay Positive and don’t let this failure affect you. Remember failure is just a delay, not a defeat. I’m certain that soon there will be a day when you will share your success stories too.
