June 11, 20243 min read

The “Building a Machine” Standardized Test Taking Approach

After 13 failed standardized tests, Dr. Rice understood better than anyone that knowledge alone wasn’t enough. He felt defeated but didn’t give up on his dream of becoming a physical therapist. Instead of throwing in the towel, Dr. Rice, aka Coach K, altered his approach and in doing so developed a new system centered around what he called ‘building a machine’. This was a new way of looking at test taking. He built a test taking strategy framework that takes the guesswork out of it, that allows you to be precise, calculated, and consistent (like a test taking machine), every single time!After acing his PT exam with a perfect 800 score he determined that Machine Framework + NPTE Knowledge = Dominating the exam!

Today, over 530 PT students are now working as physical therapists because of his standardized test taking strategies. And you can too! Start earning your PT salary while helping patients, after learning what ‘Building a Machine’ can do to help you dominate the NPTE.
