I PASSED the NPTE! Phew! What a feeling . It was a roller coaster journey this one. This was my 2nd attempt after scoring 598 the first time . Yes! I missed it by a whisker . 1 question away from feeling elated! Trust me that is one of the worst feelings ever to see that you were almost there and now you have to redo the whole process again for just that 1 extra question .
Ok now a side story, So Dr. Bhupinder Singh ! What can I say about him . I just know him from a few months , June to be exact and it feels like I know him forever. A great man ! Excellent mentor ! Makes you very comfortable and Motivates you when your chips are down. Oh ya! And he is very funny ! :) and he has solutions to anything and everything . Be it doubts you have in your concepts, butterflies in your stomach before exam or you feel like just shouting at the NPTE out of frustration or if you just want to chat and get good positive energy before your exam. All you need to do is just pick up your phone and dial his number .
Back on track now . So yes! I attended his class back in June which was really great! I was feeling dicy about my concepts and needed that little extra push to get me confident to take up the exam in July.
Come July and I was confident and felt good to give the exam .. Only to have one of worst days of my life. When the results came I was devastated. It was impossible for me to study all those books again.
Then who did I turn to for help ? Yes! Dr. Bhupinder Singh . I spoke to him for long time and he helped me calm down and gave me confidence that I could do it all over again . I started following his timetables and following his Facebook page keenly and took all his advice . His free online class just before the exam was excellent where I learnt those small things which helped me a great deal on the big day.
So when I saw my results on the 2nd, I was over the moon . Finally felt that feeling of being a licensed Physical Therapist in the USA.
I would like to thank Dr. Bhupinder Singh for helping me reach to where I am today . Really lucky to have his guidance and help and showing us the road to success. This wouldn't have been possible without his help. I HIGHLY recommend talking to him and joining the NPTE - The Final Frontier.
And to my brothers and sisters who missed out this time . Don't beat yourself down . I've been there.. I know that feeling .. But I also know that it is possible to overcome all that and achieve the big goal of passing the exam. Always stay positive and believe in yourself that YOU CAN DO IT! I know It sounds like a cliche, but trust me that is very very important . This exam plays a lot on your mind . Don't let the exam get to you . You should always have your control over it. I am sure all of you are going to come out with flying colors next time . We are waiting for you all.
I know this is a long post . Sorry for that! But I just thought that the story of my journey would help atleast a few in someway or the other.
Have a great day everyone.
